Convert Any Web Page URL to Markdown
Processing happens 100% in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
How to convert a web page URL to Markdown
- Upload: paste the full URL (including https://) into the input field.
- Process: the converter fetches the page, extracts the article body with Readability, and converts it to Markdown with Turndown.
- Download: copy the Markdown or save it as a .md file.
Why Convert URL to MD with MarkdownForge?
Article-quality Markdown output
Mozilla Readability isolates the main article body before Turndown converts it. The result is clean prose with headings, links, lists, and code blocks — not a dump of the entire page HTML.
Processed in your browser, not on a server
The fetched HTML is parsed and converted entirely inside your browser tab. No content is stored, logged, or processed on MarkdownForge servers.
Stateless CORS proxy — nothing is retained
A lightweight Cloudflare Worker fetches the remote page on your behalf to bypass browser CORS restrictions. It forwards the HTML and discards it immediately — no caching, no logging, no data retention.
URL to Markdown — FAQ
Does the URL converter work on paywalled or login-protected pages?
No. The converter fetches the page as an anonymous visitor. Pages that require authentication or a subscription will return a login wall or an error, not the article content.
Is the fetched page content stored anywhere?
No. The CORS proxy forwards the HTML to your browser and discards it immediately. No content is logged, cached, or stored on any server.
Why does the converter need a CORS proxy?
Browsers block cross-origin requests from JavaScript for security reasons. The proxy fetches the remote HTML on your behalf and returns it to your browser, where all parsing and conversion happens locally.
What happens to images and embedded media?
Images are converted to Markdown image syntax with their original URLs preserved. Embedded videos and iframes are dropped since Markdown has no equivalent element.
Can I convert multiple URLs at once?
The current interface converts one URL at a time. For batch conversion, use the MarkdownForge NPM SDK, which exposes the same engine programmatically.
