​
Overview

Web2MD can send converted Markdown directly to Obsidian using the obsidian:// URI protocol. This lets you save web content to your vault without leaving the browser.

​
Setup

1

Enable Obsidian integration

Go to Settings → Obsidian and toggle Enable Obsidian export.
2

Set your vault name (optional)

If you have multiple Obsidian vaults, enter the vault name to target a specific one. Leave blank to use the default vault.
3

Make sure Obsidian is running

Obsidian must be open on your computer for the URI protocol to work.

​
Usage

After converting a page:
  1. Click the Save to Obsidian button in the result panel
  2. Obsidian opens and creates a new note with the Markdown content
  3. The note title is set to the page title

​
How it works

Web2MD uses Obsidian’s URI protocol: 
obsidian://new?vault=MyVault&name=Article%20Title&content=...
This creates a new note in the specified vault with the converted Markdown as content.
The obsidian:// protocol has URL length limits. Very long articles may be truncated. For long content, consider using Copy and pasting directly into Obsidian.
