Check how it renders in Medium, then select that content and copy it again
Click the “Paste result from Medium” box on this tool and paste (Cmd/Ctrl+V)
The structure is analyzed automatically and graded OK / Broken / Partial, with a badge and a reason
If the auto-grade looks wrong you can override it with the dropdown. When you’re done, “Export results” writes everything out as Markdown
Grading is a simple heuristic that inspects the HTML structure (tags, nesting, attributes) captured at paste time. A visual double-check is recommended. * Important note: Medium sometimes expresses appearance through its own CSS classes rather than inline styles. When that happens, content can look perfectly fine inside Medium’s editor, but look like plain unstyled text once copied back out, because the class names have no matching stylesheet outside Medium. That’s a different question from “how does it look once pasted into Medium” — it’s about “what survives copying it back out of Medium.” When a “Partial” verdict shows a class name, that’s this case — trust what you actually saw in the Medium editor over this tool’s verdict.

Medium Paste Compatibility Check Results
Lists
[L-01] Bulleted list (1 level): ✅ OK
Reason: Found 3 li tags — recognized as a bulleted list
[L-02] Bulleted list (2+ nested levels): ❌ Broken
Reason: Nesting was lost — it’s now a flat bullet list (detected depth 1)
[L-03] Numbered list (flat): ✅ OK
Reason: Recognized as a numbered list with 3 items
[L-04] Numbered list (nested): ❌ Broken
Reason: Nesting was lost — it’s now a flat list
[L-05] Task list (with checkboxes): △ Partial
Reason: The list structure remains, but the checkboxes were lost
[L-06] Definition list (dl/dt/dd): △ Partial
Reason: The text content remains, but the definition-list tag structure was lost
Tables
[T-01] Simple table: ❌ Broken
Reason: No table element detected — the table was lost
[T-02] Table with merged cells: ❌ Broken
Reason: The whole table structure was lost
Code
[C-01] Inline code: △ Partial — ★ OK in Medium itself
Reason: The code tag remains, and it carries class=”markup — code markup — p-code”. Since that look depends on Medium’s own stylesheet, this tool alone can’t reproduce or confirm it — trust what you saw in Medium’s editor
[C-02] Multi-line code block: △ Partial — ★ OK in Medium itself
Reason: The pre structure and class=”graf graf — pre graf — preV2" remain, but since that look depends on Medium’s own stylesheet, this tool alone can’t reproduce or confirm it — trust what you saw in Medium’s editor
[C-03] Syntax-highlight style (colored spans): △ Partial — ★ OK in Medium itself
Reason: 6 colored span(s) were found with class attributes still attached, but since the color depends on Medium’s own stylesheet, this tool alone can’t reproduce or confirm the actual color — trust what you saw in Medium’s editor
Reason: Only 2 of 4 were preserved (Bold:yes / Italic:yes / Strikethrough:no / Underline:no)
[D-02] Superscript & subscript: ❌ Broken
Reason: Both superscript and subscript were lost (Subscript:no / Superscript:no)
[D-03] Text color & background color: ❌ Broken
Reason: The text color / background color was lost — it’s now plain text
[D-04] Headings (H1-H4): △ Partial
Reason: Everything is still a heading tag, but some levels were merged together (Heading 1→h3 / Heading 2→h3 / Heading 3→h3 / Heading 4→h4)
Quotes
[B-01] Simple blockquote: ✅ OK
Reason: The blockquote tag was preserved
[B-02] Nested blockquote: △ Partial
Reason: The quote remains, but the nesting was lost — it’s now a single level
Other
[O-01] Link: ✅ OK
Reason: The link (a tag with href) was preserved
[O-02] Image (inline SVG): ❌ Broken
Reason: The image is gone — only text remains
[O-03] Horizontal rule: ✅ OK
Reason: The hr divider was preserved
[O-04] Collapsible (details/summary): △ Partial
Reason: The text content remains, but the collapsible behavior was lost — it’s now plain text
[O-05] Two-column layout (CSS columns): ❌ Broken
Reason: The text content remains, but the multi-column CSS layout was lost — it’s now a single column
[O-06] Emoji & Unicode mix: ✅ OK
Reason: The emoji and mixed-Unicode text came through unchanged
[O-07] Footnote-style (sup + list): △ Partial
Reason: Either the superscript marker or the footnote list was lost (Superscript (sup):no — likely became a plain character string / Footnote list (ol/li):yes, preserved)

Addendum
In the end, I think it’s fine to just refer to the results from the tool above.
If you want to look into anything further, you can hand this tool to an AI (Claude), and it should improve it for you accordingly.
