Style a post or comment in a visual editor and copy clean Reddit markdown — bold, headings, quotes, links, spoilers, and lists — ready for Markdown Mode or old Reddit.
Reddit uses standard markdown: **double asterisks** for bold, *single* for italic, ~~tildes~~ for strikethrough, # for headings, > for quotes, [text](url) for links, and >!spoiler!< for spoilers. New Reddit's default editor is a 'fancy pants' WYSIWYG box, but you can switch it to Markdown Mode to paste raw syntax. This tool builds that markdown for you from a visual editor, so it pastes cleanly into either mode.
| Formatting | |
|---|---|
| Bold | ✓ |
| Italic | ✓ |
| Underline | ✕ |
| Strikethrough | ✓ |
| Headings | ✓ |
| Bulleted lists | ✓ |
| Numbered lists | ✓ |
| Inline code | ✓ |
| Code blocks | ✓ |
| Quotes | ✓ |
| Links | ✓ |
| Spoilers | ✓ |
Unsupported styles are dropped automatically when you copy, so nothing pastes in as broken markup.
In the comment or post box, use the switch-to-markdown toggle to turn off the fancy-pants editor, then paste the markdown this tool produces and it renders as bold, headings, quotes and lists. Old Reddit uses markdown by default, so no switch is needed there.
No. Reddit markdown has no underline at all, so there is no symbol for it. The editor disables the underline button for Reddit and drops it on copy. Use bold or italic for emphasis instead.
Wrap the text in >! and !<, like >!this!<, and Reddit hides it behind a spoiler blur that readers click to reveal. It works in both posts and comments. Toggle spoiler in the editor and Copy adds the markers for you.
Use [visible text](https://example.com) and Reddit turns the visible text into a clickable link. Unlike some chat apps, Reddit fully supports these masked links in normal posts and comments, so the editor emits them directly.
Sometimes, but the fancy-pants editor often mangles it and hidden characters from AI output can break spacing. Paste the draft here first: the tool cleans it and outputs Reddit-ready markdown you can drop into Markdown Mode or old Reddit with confidence.
New Reddit's comment and post boxes default to a WYSIWYG editor nicknamed "fancy pants." It is fine for typing, but it fights you when you paste markdown — symbols get half-applied or mangled, and AI-drafted text drags in invisible characters that ruin spacing. Every box has a toggle to switch to Markdown Mode, where raw markdown renders predictably; old Reddit uses markdown by default. This tool builds that markdown for you.

Reddit markdown is generous, but a few habits keep posts readable: put spoilers only around genuine plot points, keep headings shallow, and remember that some subreddits restrict link formatting via AutoModerator. Because links are fully supported here, the editor emits real [text](url)markup rather than a bare URL — the opposite of Discord, where masked links only work in embeds.
