How it works

How to convert a URL to Markdown

  1. 1

    Drop a web page URL into the box above and press Convert.

  2. 2

    We fetch and convert

    We pull the page through our server, then turn it into Markdown right here in your browser. It takes a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Copy or download

    Copy the Markdown with one click, or save a .md file, then paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool.

Why convert first

Why convert a page before sending it to AI

A web page is wrapped in navigation, scripts, styling and tracking that have nothing to do with what you want to read. Paste the raw HTML into an AI and you pay for all of it. Converting to Markdown leaves the article: the headings, text, links and lists. A typical page loses around 40 percent of its token count, so you pay less and the model reads the story instead of the scaffolding.

Token cost Example: a news article
As raw HTML ~15,800 tokens
As Markdown ~9,200 tokens
~42% fewer tokens Typical example. The exact saving depends on the page.

Some pages fetch better than others

We read the HTML the page returns. A site that builds its content with JavaScript, or one that blocks automated visits, can come back thin or empty, since no scripts run on our side. Only http and https addresses work, and there is a 15 MB cap on the page we pull.

FAQ

URL to Markdown questions

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no limits, no cost. Convert as many pages as you want.

How is this different from the file tools?

Here you paste an address instead of choosing a file. We fetch the page for you, then convert it. Everything else, the Markdown and the way your own files stay private, works the same.

Does the page content get stored?

No. We fetch the page you ask for, hand the bytes to your browser to convert, and keep nothing. The page is read once and not saved.

Why did a page come back empty?

It likely builds its content with JavaScript, which we do not run, or it blocks automated requests. Pages that serve their text in plain HTML convert best.

Can I paste a link to a PDF or a Word file?

Yes. If the address points straight at a PDF, Word or other supported file, we fetch it and convert it just like an uploaded copy.

Are there any limits?

Only http and https links are allowed, and the page we fetch is capped at 15 MB. Internal or private network addresses are blocked for safety.
