Markdown Cleaner & Linter

Paste your Markdown below, then click "Clean Markdown" to automatically remove inline image references, optionally remove page numbers, convert bullet characters to markdown lists, remove extra spacing between list items, clean up double spaces, check for style issues, and copy the cleaned text to your clipboard.

What does the tool do?

  • Clean Markdown automatically removes ![][imageX] references and their reference lines.
  • If Remove page numbers is checked, also deletes lines containing page numbers like Page 12 of 35, Page 7, or Page 2 of 2 May 2023.
  • Converts bullet characters (•, ▪, ▫, etc.) to proper markdown list format using dashes.
  • Removes blank lines between consecutive list items (markdown best practice).
  • Removes all double spaces, replacing them with single spaces throughout the text.
  • Runs a built-in linter to check for common Markdown style issues (silently).
  • Automatically copies the cleaned Markdown to your clipboard.
  • The cleaned result appears in the output box for review.
