# URL to Markdown Converter

> Paste a web page URL and get clean Markdown built for LLMs and RAG — content without the page chrome.

## Why copy-paste fails

- Pages are noisy — Live web pages bury content under navigation, ads, banners, and scripts.
- Markup is messy — Hand-written and generated HTML rarely maps cleanly to readable structure.
- AI needs the content — RAG and agents want the article, not the page chrome around it.

## Format notes

- Server-side fetch — The page is fetched server-side and then converted like an HTML file; no browser plugin or local tool is needed.
- Public pages only — Pages behind authentication, paywalls, or login walls cannot be fetched. Only publicly accessible URLs are supported.
- JavaScript-heavy pages — Pages that rely heavily on client-side JavaScript to render content may not convert fully, as the fetcher receives the initial server-rendered HTML.
- Boilerplate removal — Navigation, ads, and footer chrome are dropped; the converter focuses on the page's main content region.

## Example output

Source: https://example.com/article

```markdown
# Article Title

The main content of the page, without the navigation and ads.
```

## FAQ

### How does it work?

Paste a public web page URL. The page is fetched server-side and parsed into clean Markdown — no file to upload.

### Does it strip ads and navigation?

Yes, the goal is to return the page's main content as clean Markdown, not the surrounding page chrome.

### Are there any limits for the free converter?

The free converter works on public web pages. Pages that produce a response body larger than 10 MB may be truncated.

### Does it work on pages behind a login?

No. Only publicly accessible URLs are supported. Pages behind authentication, paywalls, or login walls cannot be fetched.

### What about JavaScript-rendered pages?

The converter fetches the initial server-rendered HTML. Pages that depend on client-side JavaScript to load content may not convert fully.

### Can I convert multiple URLs at once?

Batch conversion is available via the developer API. See /developers for documentation on bulk processing.

### Is it free?

Yes. Preview is free; download and history use a free account. Public web pages only (no internal or private URLs).

### Is there a developer API?

Yes. Convert web pages by URL programmatically via the REST API. See /developers for documentation.
