What it looks like

A side panel that stays open while you browse — convert, preview, export, move on.

The Web to Markdown side panel showing a converted article in the Preview tab, with the Convert page, Selection and Batch buttons
Convert the page, preview the result, and see the character and token count before you paste it anywhere.
The batch convert dialog listing open tabs with checkboxes
Batch mode lists the tabs in the current window — tick the ones you want and get one file or a zip.
The Web to Markdown settings page showing conversion, front-matter and send-to-AI options
Settings cover image handling, front-matter fields and the prompt used when sending Markdown to a chat.

Built for the pages that usually break converters

Code blocks, comparison tables and formulas are exactly the parts you do not want to retype. They survive the trip.

  • Whole page or just a selection

    Convert the full article, or highlight a few paragraphs and convert only those. Main-content extraction drops navigation, sidebars and footers before conversion starts.

  • Code blocks that stay code

    Fenced blocks with the language detected from the page's own highlighting, so a snippet copied from a docs site still reads as ```ts in your notes.

  • Math formulas

    KaTeX, MathJax and MathML are recognised and written back as $…$ and $$…$$, so equations survive into Obsidian or a LaTeX document.

  • Three ways to handle images

    Keep the remote links, download every image into a .zip next to the Markdown, or inline them as base64 for one self-contained file.

  • Batch a window of tabs

    Pick several tabs from the current window and convert them in one go — merged into a single Markdown file, or one file per page inside a zip.

  • Send to a chat

    Copies the Markdown and opens ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or another chat with your own prompt prefix ready to go. The extension never talks to a model itself.

See all features

Three steps, no setup

There is nothing to configure before your first conversion.

  1. 1

    Open the side panel

    Click the toolbar icon. The panel slides out on the right and stays there while you browse from tab to tab.

  2. 2

    Convert

    Hit Convert page for the whole article, or Selection for just the text you highlighted. Readability strips the navigation, ads and comment threads for you.

  3. 3

    Take it with you

    Copy to the clipboard, download a .md file, send it to Obsidian, or open a chat with the Markdown ready to paste.

Conversion happens inside the page you are viewing — no request is sent anywhere.

Private because there is nowhere to send anything

This is not a promise about how we handle your data — the extension has no backend to send data to. Conversion runs inside your browser.

No servers
There is no API, no account system and no cloud storage. Your pages, settings and history stay in your browser profile.
No analytics
No trackers, no telemetry, no crash reporting. Nothing counts how often you convert.
Minimal permissions
Only what the features need. Cross-origin image fetching stays optional and is requested at the moment you switch to a mode that needs it.
Works offline
Conversion needs no network at all. Turn off the Wi-Fi and it still works on a page you already have open.

What people do with it

The same conversion, four very different destinations.
