What is this Markdown heading number remover?
A free, browser-based tool that strips leading hierarchical section numbers (1, 1.1, 1.1. …) from the ATX headings (# … ######) of your Markdown. It is the inverse of the heading numberer: paste numbered Markdown and get clean headings back. Headings inside fenced code blocks are skipped. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your text is never uploaded.
How to use it
- Paste your numbered Markdown into the box on the left.
- The leading numbers are removed from every heading automatically.
- Copy the cleaned Markdown or download it as a .md file.
Common use cases
- Removing old section numbers before restructuring or renumbering a document.
- Cleaning numbered headings copied from a spec or manual into a new document.
- Switching to a tool that adds heading numbers automatically and no longer needs manual ones.
