Can I paste Markdown into Notion directly?

Notion auto-converts some Markdown as you type, but a pasted block of Markdown is unreliable. This tool hands Notion real rich text instead, so it lands as formatted blocks every time.

Why does my pasted Markdown show raw asterisks in Notion?

A plain paste keeps the ** and ` characters as text. Copy the rich output from this tool and Notion reads the styles, not the symbols.

Markdown to Notion Converter

Unlike chat apps, Notion takes real rich text, so this copies formatting that pastes in as styled blocks.

How Markdown maps to Notion

Feature	Markdown	Notion
Bold	x	real bold (rich text)
Italic	x	real italic (rich text)
Code	`x`	inline code (rich text)
Underline	none	supported in Notion

Common gotchas

Notion stores formatting as rich-text styles, not delimiter characters, so the output is real formatting and not visible asterisks or backticks.
Markdown headings and lists land as native Notion heading and list blocks, not as lines that start with # or -.
Use the Copy button, then paste straight into Notion. Pasting the raw symbols instead would leave the markers literal.
