FAQ
How do I convert a Substack post to Markdown for AI?
Paste the Substack post URL into Web2MD. It pulls the newsletter body as clean Markdown — headings, lists, and embedded quotes preserved — while stripping the subscribe banners and footer CTAs, then you paste that into ChatGPT or Claude. Much cleaner than copy-pasting from the page, which drags in signup prompts and email chrome.
Can Web2MD convert paid or member-only Substack posts?
It converts the content your browser can already see. For a post you have access to as a paying subscriber, open it while logged in and convert — Web2MD reads the rendered article. It does not bypass paywalls for content you are not subscribed to.
Does it keep footnotes and embedded links from the newsletter?
Yes. Inline links, footnotes, and heading structure carry over into the Markdown, so the converted version stays faithful to the original argument and is easy for an AI to summarize or fact-check.
