How to Convert MDX to Markdown

Paste your MDX content into the editor and the converter strips JSX-specific syntax to produce clean Markdown. Import statements, export statements, and JSX component tags are removed. Content inside JSX components is preserved where possible, so your text is not lost. The output is standard Markdown that works in any Markdown renderer — GitHub, GitLab, VS Code preview, or static site generators that do not support MDX. Use this when migrating content away from MDX or when you need a plain Markdown version of your documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gets removed during conversion?
Import statements, export statements, and JSX component tags are removed. Standard Markdown syntax (headings, lists, links, code blocks, images) is preserved. Content inside JSX components is kept where possible.
Is the conversion lossless?
No. JSX components that have no Markdown equivalent are removed, which means interactive elements, custom layouts, and component-specific styling are lost. The converter preserves all standard Markdown content.
Does it handle frontmatter?
Yes. YAML frontmatter is preserved in the Markdown output since frontmatter is valid in both MDX and standard Markdown.
Can I convert Markdown back to MDX?
Standard Markdown is already valid MDX, so no conversion is needed. You can add JSX components and imports to any Markdown file to turn it into MDX.
