Convert Markdown for Google Chat

FAQ

Does Google Chat support Markdown?

Google Chat supports Markdown-style shortcuts, including single asterisks for bold, underscores for italics, and backticks for code. This converter adapts your Markdown to those shortcuts.

Why does this converter change double asterisks to single asterisks?

Markdown commonly uses **bold**, while Google Chat uses *bold*. The converter changes the markers for you. It also changes *italic* to _italic_.

When does Google Chat display the formatting?

Google Chat supports Live Markdown. When it is enabled, formatting can appear while you compose the message. When it is disabled, formatting is applied after sending. The converter shows the text to paste, including its markers.

What happens to headings?

Markdown headings become bold lines, so section titles stay easy to spot in a message.

Can I use this in Gmail’s Chat panel?

Yes. Google’s formatting instructions also cover Chat inside Gmail. Paste the converted text into a Chat conversation, rather than an email draft.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your text is never sent anywhere, stored, or logged. We count anonymous, cookie-free page views and conversion events (event names only — never content, never identifiers) to see which tools are useful.

Does it only work with ChatGPT output?

No — it converts any Markdown. Output from Copilot, Mistral, DeepSeek, Perplexity or any other AI works, and so does Markdown from READMEs, Notion exports, or your own notes. Research citations (footnotes like [^1] with a source list) are converted too.

What happens to tables?

Tables become readable text cards. Small numeric tables can stay as aligned code blocks for WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Chat and Viber. Check the preview to see the output for your table.
