Frequently asked questions

Is there a size or redirect limit for URLs?
Yes — the fetched page must be under 25 MB and the link may redirect up to 5 times. Only public http/https links are supported; private or internal addresses are blocked.
Does it follow redirects?
Yes, up to 5 redirect hops — if a link redirects to its final destination, that page is the one that gets converted.
Can I convert a page from an internal network or localhost?
No — for safety, only publicly reachable http/https addresses are allowed; private, internal or localhost addresses are blocked.
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 a web page URL to Markdown?

No need to save a page first — paste a public http/https link and Markdown Please fetches it, strips the ads and navigation, and returns clean Markdown with headings, lists, tables and links intact.

Handy for articles, documentation pages, blog posts or any public web page you want to read, edit, or store as plain text instead of a live link that might change or disappear.

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

What is a URL conversion?

Instead of uploading a file, you paste a public web address and Markdown Please fetches that page directly, then converts its content the same way it would an HTML file — no need to save or download anything first.

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.
