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!<.

How Markdown maps to Reddit
| Feature | Markdown | |

| Italic | *x* | *x* |
| Strikethrough | ~~x~~ | ~~x~~ |
| Spoiler | none | >!x!< |

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.
