Frequently asked questions

Does it work with nested JSON?

Yes — nested objects and arrays are kept in a readable structure in the Markdown output.

Does my JSON have to be valid?

The file needs to be valid JSON to convert. If it isn't, you'll get a clear error message instead of a broken result.

Can I convert JSON from an API URL?

Yes — use the From URL tab and paste a public link that returns JSON; it's fetched and converted the same way.

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 JSON to Markdown?

JSON is built for machines, not for reading. Markdown Please converts your .json file into readable Markdown, so API responses, config files and data exports become something you can scan, share and discuss.

Handy for documenting an API payload, reviewing a data export, or pasting structured data into an issue, a wiki or a report. No install, no sign-up, and your file is discarded immediately.

Markdown is also the format AI models read best — convert JSON to paste into ChatGPT or Claude for explanation or analysis, or keep readable snapshots in Notion or Obsidian.

What is a JSON file?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the standard format for structured data on the web — APIs, configs and exports all use it. It's precise but dense to read. Markdown Please turns it into readable Markdown so humans can work with it too.

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.
