How it works
Paste the AI answer above (or the raw markdown from ChatGPT’s copy button).
Press Copy as rich text.
Paste into Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Gmail, Outlook, Notion, Apple Pages or any editor that accepts formatted text.
ClepBoard puts two versions on your clipboard at once: formatted HTML for editors that support it, and clean plain text for everything else. The app you paste into picks the best one automatically.
What converts

Hidden characters, citation markers like 【4†source】 and utm_source=chatgpt.com tracking are cleaned out at the same time.
FAQ
Why does pasting from ChatGPT show asterisks?
ChatGPT writes in Markdown. Its own interface renders it, but when the raw text lands in an app that doesn’t understand Markdown, you see the ** and ## symbols instead of formatting.
Does it work with Microsoft Word and Outlook?
Yes. Word, Outlook, Google Docs, Gmail, Notion, Pages and most rich editors read the HTML ClepBoard puts on the clipboard.
What if my browser blocks rich copy?
Some older browsers only allow plain-text clipboard access. ClepBoard will tell you and fall back to clean plain text.
