Why convert TXT to MD?
Turning plain notes into Markdown gives you a file that renders properly in documentation sites, wikis and GitHub — instead of one long, unstyled block of text.
TXT vs MD at a glance
TXT is the simplest document format — just characters, no formatting, readable by every application on every platform since the dawn of computing. MD is the developer's writing format — plain text with simple syntax that renders as formatted HTML, used everywhere from GitHub to documentation sites.

TXT to MD — frequently asked questions
Is this TXT to MD converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits.
Will my plain text get any Markdown formatting added?
Not automatically — plain text has no headings, bold or lists for the converter to detect, so it's carried over as-is. LibreOffice's Markdown export currently wraps paragraphs in a code block; if you want real Markdown structure, write it with # headings and lists in the .txt file first.
Is the conversion private?
Your text file is sent to our servers, converted, and the result is returned to you. Your file is deleted immediately after conversion and never stored.
