Live converter

URL, HTML, or a bulk file of URLs

Convert a single page instantly, paste raw HTML without an account, or upload a CSV or TXT list of URLs for a paid bulk run with live progress and a bundled markdown export.

FAQs

Questions people ask before they convert

The three modes are designed for different jobs. Here’s the quick user guide to what each one is good at and what to expect.

General

Choosing the right mode

Start with the fastest option for the job you’re doing, then switch modes only if you need more control.

Use URL when you want one live web page converted. Use Paste HTML when you already have the page source. Use Bulk Upload when you want to work through a list of pages in one run.
Signed-in conversions can be saved to your workspace. Paste HTML is still the easiest no-sign-up way to test the output before you create an account.
Pages with heavy popups, logins, or unusual layouts can vary. If a page doesn’t come through well via URL mode, Paste HTML usually gives you a more direct fallback.
Yes! MDtools is fully API-first. You can perform conversions programmatically using our high-speed endpoints. Check out the Docs for authorization details and quick integration snippets in Python, Node.js, and cURL.
URL Mode

Best for one live page at a time

URL mode is the quickest path when you want a fresh fetch of a public page and don’t want to handle the source manually.

Paste a normal public page URL. If you leave off the protocol, MDtools will try the secure version for you.
Leave it on if you want extra page context at the top of the markdown. Turn it off if you only want the body content.
Try Paste HTML next. It’s the easiest fallback when a live page has access friction or layout issues that make direct fetching less reliable.
MDtools uses advanced parsing algorithms that automatically detect and strip away consent cookie banners, overlay popups, navigation headers, and sidebar widgets, leaving you with only the pure, structured article markdown.
Paste HTML

Best when you already have the page source

Paste HTML gives you a fast preview path and can help when you want more control over exactly what gets converted.

Use it when you already have the page source, when a page is awkward to fetch directly, or when you want to test a fragment instead of a full page.
No. A full page usually gives the richest result, but you can also paste a meaningful section if that’s all you need.
Yes. Paste HTML is the no-account path for seeing how the converter formats real content before you decide to save anything.
Yes, all image URLs, anchor links, and structural media are preserved as standard markdown syntax. Local/relative URLs will be resolved to absolute URLs if a base URL metadata is detected or provided.
Bulk Upload

Best for a list of pages in one run

Bulk Upload is built for paid plans and is designed to work steadily through a file of URLs while showing progress as it goes.

Upload a `.csv` or `.txt` file containing one or more page URLs. Clean lists work best, and repeated URLs are skipped.
The bulk tool intentionally works through the list at a controlled pace. That makes long runs easier to follow and helps avoid hammering target sites too aggressively.
This first version is capped to smaller files and is meant for same-session use. Keep the tab open, watch the live progress, and download the final bundle when it finishes.
You get a bundled markdown export of the run, plus any successful conversions can still be available in your workspace.
To maintain high deliverability and avoid target sites blocking requests, our bulk processor streams conversions sequentially with a mild rate-limiting delay. For custom high-throughput needs, please contact support for an enterprise API quota.
