Which clipboard format is used?

The tool prefers clipboard Markdown, then rich HTML, then plain text. Plain text is preserved without inventing missing structure.

What formatting can be preserved?

Supported headings, lists, links, tables, code, and emphasis can be retained when the clipboard supplies Markdown or rich HTML. Comments, suggestions, drawings, page layout, fonts, colors, and complex tables may need cleanup.

Is my clipboard content private?

What if clipboard access is denied?

How do I convert pasted content to Markdown?

Copy formatted content, focus the paste area, and paste. mdedit prefers Markdown supplied by the clipboard, otherwise converts rich HTML, and finally preserves plain text without inventing structure.

Paste from Google Docs

Copy content in Google Docs and paste it here. Supported headings, lists, links, tables, and emphasis are converted from the clipboard formats your browser provides. No Google account connection or document sync is used.

What is preserved?

Markdown or rich HTML can preserve supported headings, lists, links, tables, code, and emphasis. Comments, suggestions, version history, page layout, drawings, complex tables, fonts, and colors may need cleanup. Plain text stays plain text.

Example rich paste

Copying a rich heading named “Plan” followed by the list items “Draft” and “Review” produces editable Markdown such as:

# Plan

- Draft
- Review

Privacy and processing

Conversion runs in your browser without sign-in and the pasted content is not uploaded by this tool. Clipboard access requires an explicit paste or browser permission. mdedit analytics records only the payload type and tool outcome, never clipboard content.
