Markdown to Reddit Converter

Reddit comments run on GitHub-flavored Markdown, so most of what you paste arrives unchanged. The main thing Reddit adds on top is its spoiler syntax, >!hidden!<.

Common gotchas

  • Reddit comments use GitHub-flavored Markdown (snoomark), so your bold, italic, strikethrough and links paste straight through.
  • Reddit hides spoilers with >!hidden!<, a marker plain Markdown has no equivalent for, so you add it on Reddit's side rather than in your source.
  • Set the comment box to Markdown mode first, otherwise the fancypants rich editor can rewrite your raw syntax on paste.

Frequently asked

Do I need to change my Markdown before pasting it into Reddit?
Rarely. Bold, italic, strikethrough, code and links use the same markers Reddit expects, so a straight paste works for almost everything.
Why does my pasted Markdown look broken in the Reddit comment box?
The fancypants rich editor is on. Click the toggle to switch to Markdown mode and your raw syntax will render correctly.
