What to do for each app
AI chats write in Markdown. Most apps don't read it, so the symbols show up as text. Here is what happens to your answer in each one.
| Pasting into | Without this tool | With it |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Word | Literal asterisks, or the chat's fonts and gray boxes | Word headings you can restyle, real lists and bordered tables |
| Google Docs | Stray pound signs and broken bullets | Docs headings that appear in the outline, real lists and tables |
| Gmail | Text that can turn gray or vanish on white | Clean text in your own email's color, with bold and lists intact |
| Notion | Mostly fine, with gray code boxes | Headings, lists, tables and code blocks without the chat's styling |
| Excel and Sheets | A table stuck in one cell | Every value in its own cell |

Questions
Why does ChatGPT text show asterisks when I paste it?
AI chats write in Markdown, where two asterisks mean bold and a pound sign means a heading. Apps that don't read Markdown show those symbols as plain characters. This tool turns them into real formatting before you paste.
How do I paste ChatGPT into Word with formatting?
Copy the answer, paste it into the box on this page, choose Word, press Copy for Word, then paste into your document. Headings, bold, lists and tables arrive as formatting Word can edit.
How do I paste a ChatGPT table into Excel or Google Sheets?
Paste the answer here, choose Excel and Sheets, and press Copy. The table lands in separate cells instead of one long line of text.
How do I remove asterisks from ChatGPT text?
Paste the text here and they turn into real bold and headings. If you want no formatting at all, choose Plain text and the symbols are removed.
Why does pasted AI text look gray or disappear in Gmail?
Copied text can carry the chat window's own colors and boxes, and a light text color can vanish on a white background. This tool leaves all of that behind, so the text takes on your document's look.
Does it work with Claude, Gemini and other AI chats?
Yes. It reads Markdown from any AI chat, and it can also clean up formatted text you selected and copied by hand.
What happens to math equations?
Equations stay as the text the AI wrote. Word and Google Docs have their own equation tools for turning that text into formatted math.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs on this page in your browser, and nothing you paste is sent or saved. We only count anonymous events, such as how many people pressed Copy.
