Best Use Case: This tool works effectively on content-heavy pages like blog posts, news articles, Wikipedia, and text documentation.

The Best Webpage to Markdown Tool

Welcome to our free, browser-based markdown converter. We make it trivial to take any source web page and instantly transform its main article content into clean, readable Markdown syntax. Whether you are archiving blogs, using knowledge graphs like Obsidian or Notion, or simply want distraction-free reading, this tool handles the heavy lifting.

Our converter uses the powerful `@mozilla/readability` library to intelligently extract the "meat" of the article while discarding sidebars, navigation menus, and footers. Then, it utilizes `turndown` to map HTML tags precisely into Markdown formatting.

Intelligent Extraction

By checking "Clean / Filter", we run the raw HTML of the url markdown through a readability engine that ignores the fluff and gives you exactly what you came to read.

Ignore Links Option

If you just want the pure text layout without annoying hyperlinks cluttering your markdown, check "Ignore Links". All anchor text is preserved but the URL brackets disappear.
