Website to Markdown
Convert any web page into clean, readable Markdown in one click.
What is Website to Markdown?
Website to Markdown takes any public web page URL and converts its HTML into clean, readable Markdown you can paste into a note, a docs site, an LLM prompt, or a README. The page is fetched and parsed server-side, then the surrounding chrome — navigation bars, cookie banners, ads, comment threads, related-posts widgets, and footer links — is stripped away so only the main article text, headings, links, lists, and code blocks remain. Output is best-effort: heavily JavaScript-driven single-page apps or pages with no clear main content may return partial text, but for articles, blog posts, docs, and Wikipedia-style pages the conversion is typically clean. From the result panel you can copy the Markdown to your clipboard or download it as a .md file in one click.
How to Use Website to Markdown
- Paste the full URL of the page you want to convert (for example, https://example.com/article).
- Click "Convert" — the page is fetched and parsed on the server.
- Read the cleaned Markdown in the result panel.
- Use Copy to send it to your clipboard, or Download .md to save it as a file.
- If the output looks thin, try the page's canonical or print URL — some sites serve richer content there.
Examples
Blog post
Input: https://example.com/blog/how-we-shipped-it
Output: # How we shipped it We spent six weeks rebuilding the editor... ## The build phase - daily standups - weekly demos - ...
Docs / reference page
Input: https://docs.example.com/api/authentication
Output: # Authentication All requests require an API key sent as a bearer token. ```http GET /v1/users Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY ```
Wikipedia article
Input: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown
Output: # Markdown **Markdown** is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor.
Common Mistakes
- Expecting a pixel-perfect copy — the tool extracts main-article content as Markdown, so styling, embedded widgets, and interactive elements are intentionally dropped.
- Pointing it at a login-gated or paywalled URL and expecting the full article — the fetch is anonymous and only sees public content.
- Feeding it a page whose content loads via JavaScript and concluding the tool is broken — try a server-rendered page or the site's canonical URL instead.
- Pasting raw HTML into an LLM prompt instead of converting first — clean Markdown strips nav and ads so the model gets signal, not boilerplate.
Why Use This Tool
- One-click conversion with no sign-up, no browser extension, and no copy-paste gymnastics.
- Server-side fetch means your browser never makes the request directly — handy behind strict CSPs or locked-down networks.
- Boilerplate stripping (nav, ads, banners) produces text that's immediately useful in docs, notes, or LLM prompts.
- Copy to clipboard or download as a .md file without ever leaving the page.
