Paste Formatted Text from Google Docs — It Just Works

If you draft content in Google Docs and want to turn it into clean Markdown for AI prompts or elsewhere, you're in luck: pasting from Google Docs into our editor works great.

What You Get When You Paste

When you copy formatted text from a Google Doc and paste it into the editor, we preserve:

• Headings — Doc headings become Markdown headings
• Bold and italic — Emphasis is kept
• Bullet and numbered lists — List structure is preserved
• Links — URLs and link text come through correctly
• Paragraph breaks — Spacing and structure stay intact

You don't have to re-format or re-type anything. Paste, then use the toolbar above to tweak formatting if you like.

Why It Matters for AI Prompts

Many people draft prompts or context in Docs (with colleagues, comments, or version history) and then need to feed that text into an AI. Pasting here keeps your structure and emphasis, so the AI sees the same clarity you intended — headings for sections, lists for requirements, and bold for key terms.

Try It

1. Open a Google Doc with some headings, bold text, and a list.
2. Select the content and copy (Cmd+C or Ctrl+C).
3. Click in our editor and paste (Cmd+V or Ctrl+V).

Your formatted content appears as editable rich text; the Markdown panel on the right shows the clean Markdown. From there you can copy the Markdown or keep editing in the editor.

What Doesn't Paste

Images, embedded videos, and complex tables may not come through as formatted content — you may get plain text or placeholders. For those, paste and then add structure (or re-insert images) in the editor. Simple tables (rows and columns) often paste as text; you can convert them to Markdown tables using the editor if needed.
