How to convert a webpage to Markdown
- Paste a public webpage URL into the converter.
- Select Convert.
- Review the title, headings, links, lists, and article text.
- Copy the clean Markdown into your notes, documentation, or agent context.
URL to Markdown removes the page furniture
A webpage contains more than the text you want to keep. Navigation, cookie notices, sidebars, adverts, scripts, and footers can make the raw HTML much larger than the article.
This tool fetches the public page, finds the main readable content, and returns it as Markdown. It keeps useful structure such as headings, paragraphs, links, lists, code, quotes, and inline images when the page makes them available.
Webpage to Markdown and URL to Markdown are the same task
Both searches start with a link. Paste the address and the tool fetches the page for you. The result works in Obsidian, Notion, Git repositories, prompts, and agent context files.
Use the HTML converter when you already have the source
Raw HTML needs no fetch or article extraction. Paste it into the HTML to Markdown converter instead. It converts the source structure directly.
When a webpage cannot be converted
- Pages behind a login cannot be fetched anonymously.
- Some sites block automated requests.
- JavaScript-only pages may send no readable HTML.
- Home pages and search results may not have one clear article to extract.
Frequently asked questions
You paste a URL. It fetches the page, pulls out the main article body, and returns clean Markdown with the title, headings, links, lists, and inline formatting intact. The rest of the page (navigation, sidebars, cookie banners, footers, ads) is stripped out so you get the content and nothing else.
Paste the URL into the box above and press Convert. The tool fetches the page, runs it through an extraction and HTML to Markdown pipeline, and hands back the Markdown. Copy it with one click and paste it into Obsidian, Notion, a prompt, or any other editor.
URL to Markdown and webpage to Markdown take a link and return the readable page content. HTML to Markdown accepts raw HTML source you already have. This tool handles the URL. Use the separate HTML to Markdown converter when you want to paste source code.
Three big reasons. First, feeding the page to an AI or LLM is much faster and cheaper with clean Markdown than with raw HTML. Second, Markdown pastes into Obsidian, Notion, Roam, Bear, and any notes app while keeping headings, links, and lists intact. Third, Markdown is portable, diffable, and future-proof in a way that a saved HTML snapshot is not.
It works for most public articles, blog posts, docs pages, and news sites. It does not work well for pages that are entirely client-side rendered with no server HTML, pages behind a login, or pages that actively block scraping. When a page cannot be extracted cleanly, the tool tells you so rather than giving you noisy output.
Keep uses the same URL extraction in the signed-in product, but the public API is not available yet. The free tool handles one public URL at a time. Keep saves URLs as Markdown when you need a searchable library instead of a one-time conversion.
Yes. Server-backed tools share five free uses each day. You do not need an account for an anonymous conversion.
Inline images from the article body are preserved as standard Markdown image syntax that points to the original source URL. Decorative images, tracking pixels, and images that belong to the site chrome are dropped along with the rest of the non-article content.
The free tool returns up to roughly 10,000 characters of Markdown per page. For most articles that is the full piece. Very long posts are truncated with a clear marker at the end. If you need uncapped conversion, longer articles, or batch URL to Markdown, save the URL in Keep and access the full clean Markdown from there.
The page you paste is fetched server-side so we can follow redirects and run the extraction pipeline, but the URL and resulting Markdown are not saved to a database or tied to an account. If you want a persistent, searchable library of clean Markdown pages, that is what Keep is for.
