What is Discord Markdown?
Discord utilizes a specialized parsing engine based on standard Markdown with custom extensions designed for real-time chat. Unlike standard CommonMark, Discord incorporates features such as interactive spoiler masks (||spoiler||), dynamic Unix timestamps (<t:time:R>), multi-line blockquotes (>>>), and small subtext headers (-#).
Inline Text Formatting Reference
Wraps words in double asterisks on both sides.
Single asterisk or underscore creates emphasis.
Discord-exclusive double underscore formatting.
Crosses out text using double tildes.
Creates a black mask that reveals content when clicked.
Encloses monospace code snippets in single backticks.
Block Formatting: Quotes, Code & Headings
Use > text to quote only the current line. Use >>> text at the beginning of a paragraph to quote all remaining text until the end of the message block.
Discord supports three header sizes: # H1 (Large Title), ## H2 (Medium Section), and ### H3 (Small Subsection). There must always be a space after the hash symbols.
Prefixing a line with -# produces small, muted subtext ideal for disclaimers, time reminders, and author footnotes.
How This Formatter Works
MarkdownDiscord is engineered as an entirely client-side web utility. When you type or format text, our custom syntax engine transforms your text in real time without sending keystrokes to a backend server. The live chat simulator safely parses and renders your message so you can verify syntax before posting into Discord.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this formatter send my text to a server?
No. All formatting, character counting, and preview rendering executes locally in your web browser. Your drafts never leave your device.
Can I copy the output directly into Discord?
Yes! Simply click "Copy Markdown" and paste (Ctrl+V or ⌘V) directly into any Discord channel, thread, direct message, or bot webhook.
What is the character limit for Discord messages?
Standard Discord accounts have a 2,000 character limit per message. Discord Nitro subscribers can send up to 4,000 characters. The counter at the bottom of our editor tracks both limits automatically.
How do I create a spoiler in Discord?
Surround the text with double vertical pipe symbols, like this: ||hidden secret||. When sent in Discord, the text will be hidden behind a black mask until clicked.
