Website to Markdown Converter
Paste a page's HTML below for instant conversion — or install the free extension to convert any live website in one click.
How to convert a website to Markdown
- For a single page: open the page, copy its content (or view-source HTML) and paste it below — headings, lists, tables, and links convert to clean Markdown automatically.
- For any live website in one click: install the Web2MD extension. It converts the page you are viewing — including JavaScript-rendered apps, Reddit threads, and login-walled pages that server-side converters can't reach.
- Copy the Markdown or download the .md file, then send it to ChatGPT, Claude, or your notes. The token count shows exactly what you'll spend.
Why convert websites to Markdown?
Raw webpages are hostile to AI models: navigation menus, cookie banners, and sidebars eat 30–65% of your tokens before the model sees any real content. Markdown keeps the structure — headings, lists, tables, code — and drops the furniture.
Server-side website to Markdown tools fetch pages from their own servers, so they fail exactly where you need them: login-walled pages, Reddit, X, and JavaScript-heavy apps. A browser extension converts the page you can already see — your session, your rendered DOM.
Web2MD ships 16 site-specific extractors (Reddit, X, YouTube transcripts, Substack, Wikipedia and more), batch conversion for AI agents via MCP, and Obsidian export. The paste converter on this page is free and runs entirely in your browser.
Website to Markdown — FAQ
How do I convert an entire website to Markdown?
For a whole site, use the Web2MD extension's batch mode: give it a list of URLs (or let an AI agent drive it via MCP) and it converts each page to clean Markdown in your browser. The paste tool on this page is best for one page at a time.
Can I convert a website to Markdown without installing anything?
Yes — copy the page content or its HTML source and paste it into the converter above; conversion happens locally in your browser. The limitation: for JavaScript-rendered or login-walled sites, what you can copy may be incomplete — that's where the extension's one-click conversion of the rendered page wins.
Is this website to Markdown converter free?
The paste converter on this page is free and unlimited, with no signup — nothing you paste leaves your machine. The extension has a free tier; paid plans add higher limits and batch features.
What's the difference between this and r.jina.ai or Firecrawl?
r.jina.ai and Firecrawl fetch pages server-side — great for automation on public URLs, but they can't see login-walled pages, and bot-protected sites like Reddit often block them. Web2MD converts in your browser, where the page is already rendered and your session is already logged in.
