How It Works

Slack and Microsoft Teams use different formatting systems. Copying messages between them often results in broken formatting, stray asterisks, and inconsistent styling.

What Causes the Formatting Issue?

Slack uses its own flavor of Markdown: single asterisks for bold (not double), tildes for strikethrough, and angle brackets for quotes. Teams uses a different system, so Slack formatting appears as raw characters.

How This Tool Fixes It

This tool strips Slack-specific formatting, removes markdown syntax, cleans up smart quotes and special characters, and normalizes spacing so your message reads naturally in Teams.

Step by Step

  1. Copy your message from Slack
  2. Paste it into the input box
  3. Slack-specific formatting is automatically cleaned
  4. Smart quotes and special characters are normalized
  5. Copy and paste into Microsoft Teams

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this convert Slack emoji codes like :thumbsup:?

Currently this tool focuses on text formatting cleanup. Emoji shortcodes are preserved as-is. Most platforms can interpret standard emoji characters.

What about Slack's code blocks?

Code block syntax (triple backticks) is removed, leaving the code content as plain text. You can re-format it in Teams using their code block feature.

Will this handle threaded messages?

This tool processes whatever text you paste. It doesn't interact with Slack's API, so you'll need to copy the specific messages you want to convert.
