Convert Markdown to Discord-flavored markdown. Handles spoilers, headers, and escaping.
Free Markdown to Discord Formatter cleans up Markdown so it renders correctly in Discord messages, channel announcements, and DMs. It collapses unsupported heading levels, handles images that Discord won't render inline, and preserves everything Discord does render (bold, italic, strike, code, quotes, lists, spoilers).
Privacy: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or cached. Close the tab and it's gone. Verify in DevTools → Network: zero requests fire.
Discord community managers post announcements all day. Having to manually tweak every message is a waste. The tool runs 100% in your browser.

Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.
Discord only renders heading levels 1–3 (#, ##, ###). Levels 4–6 are invisible. The converter automatically collapses ####, #####, and ###### to ### so nothing disappears in your message.
For a richer preview of how your markdown will look rendered, use the Free Markdown Live Preview.
Discord does NOT render  inline — it shows the raw text, which looks broken. Toggle Drop image markdown (on by default) to replace image syntax with alt: url so the link is still visible but the broken syntax is gone.
Discord supports **bold**, *italic*, __underline__, ~~strikethrough~~, \`inline\`, \`\`\`code blocks\`\`\`, > blockquote, list markers, and ||spoiler|| — all of which overlap with standard Markdown. The converter leaves them untouched so the message renders exactly as you intended.
For Slack instead of Discord, use the Free Markdown to Slack Formatter.
Toggle Escape specials to backslash-escape every *, _, ~, `, and | so they appear as literal characters instead of triggering formatting. Useful when you're posting example markdown inside Discord (meta!).
Paste into the input, or click Load example.
Defaults work for most cases. Toggle image-dropping or escape-specials if your use case differs.
Click Copy and paste directly into a Discord channel or DM.
Write announcements in Markdown, convert once, post to the channel.
Format changelogs in Markdown and share them in the server.
Notes written in Obsidian or Notion → clean Discord messages in one paste.
