Frequently asked questions

Can I convert a live web page instead of a file?
Yes — switch to the From URL tab and paste any public http/https link. It's fetched and converted the same way, with no need to save the page first.
Does it remove ads and navigation menus?
It extracts the page's structural content — headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links — rather than trying to guess which parts are 'ads', so some site chrome may still appear if it's part of the main content flow.
Can I convert a page that needs a login?
No — only publicly accessible pages can be fetched. Pages behind a login wall aren't reachable by the converter.
Why convert to Markdown?
Markdown is clean, lightweight plain text that works everywhere — GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, wikis and static sites — and is easy to edit and version-control. It's also the format AI models read best: converting PDFs, Word or slides to Markdown makes them token-efficient and ready to paste into ChatGPT/Claude, feed into a RAG pipeline, or build a knowledge base.
Is Markdown Please free?
Yes — 100% free, with no sign-up and no limits. Convert as many files as you like.
Are my files stored or shared?
No. Files are converted on the spot and discarded immediately — never stored, shared, or used for anything else.
Which file formats are supported?
PDF, Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX), PowerPoint (PPTX), HTML, CSV, JSON, XML, TXT, MD and IPYNB.
Can I convert a web page or online file?
Yes. Paste any public http/https URL in the “From URL” tab and it will be fetched and converted to Markdown.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes — up to 25 MB per file.

Why convert HTML to Markdown?

Web pages are full of markup, ads and navigation you don't need. Markdown Please converts an .html file's headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and links into clean Markdown, with the clutter stripped away.

Upload a saved .html file, or switch to the From URL tab to fetch and convert a public web page directly — no download needed.

Markdown is also the format AI models read best — convert articles or documentation pages to paste into ChatGPT or Claude, build a RAG pipeline, or save clean notes into Obsidian or Notion.

What is an HTML file?

HTML is the markup language behind every web page — the raw code your browser reads to display text, images, links and layout. Markdown Please strips away the tags, styling and navigation clutter, and keeps just the readable content — headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and links — as clean Markdown.

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight way to write formatted text using plain characters — a "#" for a heading, a "-" for a list item, brackets and parentheses for a link. It looks almost like plain text but renders as proper formatting anywhere that understands it: GitHub, Notion, static site generators, and AI chat tools all read it natively.
