Paste from Claude. Copy for Google Docs.

Claude outputs markdown. Google Docs doesn’t understand it. We bridge the gap instantly.

The Problem

Google Docs turns your markdown into a wall of plain text

You copy a Claude response, paste it into Google Docs, and the detailed formatting is lost. Claude’s well-structured headings, tables, and code blocks all become a wall of plain text with raw symbols.

Compatibility

What works in Google Docs

Honest breakdown of what transfers and what doesn't.

Headings H1–H3

Full support

Render with correct hierarchy and sizing. Mapped to Google Docs’ built-in heading styles so they appear in the document outline.

Bold, italic & inline code

Full support

Bold, italic, and bold+italic all render correctly. Inline code appears in monospace with a light gray background.

Links

Full support

Render as clickable, underlined, blue text, exactly like native Google Docs links.

Tables

Full support

Render with borders, header row, and data rows. Bold text inside cells is preserved. Column alignment is not supported.

Lists & nesting

Full support

Unordered, ordered, and mixed nested lists render properly up to 3 levels deep with correct indentation.

Code blocks

Partial support

Render in monospace font, but lines appear separately without a containing background box. No syntax highlighting.

Strikethrough

Not supported

Google Docs ignores the <del> tag and text-decoration CSS. Strikethrough text appears as normal unstyled text.

Headings H4–H6

Partial support

All appear as bold text at the same size with no visual distinction from each other or from bold body text.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Copy the Claude response, paste it into Unmarkdown™, click "Google Docs", then paste into your document. Claude’s headings, tables, code blocks, and formatting are all preserved.

Claude outputs markdown syntax that Google Docs doesn’t interpret. Characters like #, **, and ` appear as literal text instead of formatted content. Unmarkdown™ converts Claude’s markdown to rich text that Google Docs understands.

Yes. Claude uses the same markdown syntax as ChatGPT: # for headings, ** for bold, ``` for code blocks, | for tables. Both produce markdown that needs conversion before pasting into Google Docs.

No. Unmarkdown™ runs 100% in your browser. Your Claude responses are converted locally and copied to your clipboard. Nothing is ever sent to any server.

Your markdown deserves a beautiful home.
