Fetching is handled by a secure server-side proxy. Only public pages that return plain HTML are supported — pages that require a login or render content with JavaScript may return incomplete text. For local HTML files, use the HTML to Markdown tool instead.

Turn Any Web Page into Clean Markdown

Feeding raw HTML into an LLM wastes tokens on tags, attributes and scripts that add noise instead of meaning. This converter fetches a page, strips away navigation, scripts and styling, and returns only the readable content in compact Markdown — ideal for summarization, fine-tuning and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.

Readable Content Extraction

The tool prioritizes the page's <article> or <main> element when present, falling back to the full <body>. Non-content elements such as scripts, styles, navigation, headers and footers are removed before conversion, and the document title is added as a top-level heading.

Structure Preserved for LLMs

The resulting Markdown keeps headings, paragraphs, links, images, bold and italic text, lists, blockquotes, code blocks and tables. That predictable structure makes documents easier to chunk semantically and cheaper to tokenize.

Honest About Limits

Fetching is performed server-side through a secure, SSRF-protected proxy, while Markdown conversion happens entirely in your browser. Some pages still fail or arrive incomplete — for example, pages that require a login, block automated fetchers, or render their content entirely with JavaScript.

Private and Secure by Design

The proxy validates every URL before fetching, blocks private and reserved network addresses, limits redirects and response sizes, and rate-limits requests to keep the service safe and fair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my URL or the page content uploaded to a server?

Yes. The URL you enter is sent to our server, which fetches the page through a secure, rate-limited proxy. The Markdown conversion is then performed locally in your browser.

Why does the tool fail on some websites?

Some pages fail because they require a login, block automated fetchers, render their content only with JavaScript, or return non-HTML content such as a PDF. For those pages, save the page or view its source, then paste the HTML into the HTML to Markdown tool.

Which websites can I convert?

The tool converts public pages that return plain HTML without requiring a login. Pages whose content is rendered entirely with JavaScript may be missing most of their text.

Is the tool free to use?

Yes. The URL to Markdown converter is free and requires no registration or installation.
