FAQ

How do I convert a Medium article to Markdown for ChatGPT?

Open the Medium story and paste its URL into Web2MD. It pulls the article body — headings, code blocks, blockquotes, and images — into clean Markdown and drops the clap counter, author follow box, and "recommended stories" footer. Paste that into ChatGPT or Claude to summarize or extract the argument without the interface noise.

Can Web2MD read a Medium member-only (paywalled) story?

Web2MD reads whatever your own browser can see. If you have Medium membership or the story is behind a metered paywall you've opened, it extracts the full text into Markdown. It does not bypass a hard paywall you have no access to — it just cleans up the page you can already read so an AI can ingest it.
