Clip web pages into your Obsidian vault
Obsidian stores plain Markdown files, which is exactly what a converter should produce. Web to Markdown extracts the article, writes a YAML front-matter block with the source URL and date, and hands the note to Obsidian without a download-and-move step.
How to do it
- 1
Open the article and click the toolbar icon to open the side panel.
- 2
In Settings, turn on the front-matter fields you want in every note — title and source URL are the useful pair for clipped articles.
- 3
Hit Convert page, then Obsidian. Pick the vault the first time and the note lands there.
Worth knowing
- Switch image handling to "download as zip" when you want the pictures stored alongside the note rather than hot-linked to a site that may disappear.
- Tags in the front-matter are yours to fill in — the extension does not invent topics for you.
- Formulas come out as $…$ and $$…$$, which Obsidian renders natively.
No sync service, no vault plugin to install, no account connecting your notes to anything.
