24 alternatives to I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown

My partner usually writes substack posts which I then mirror to our website’s blog section. To automate this, I made a simple tool to scrape the post and clean it so that I can drop it to our blog easily. This might be useful to others as well. Oh and ofcourse you can instruct GPT to make any final edits :D

This tool scrapes webpages and converts them to clean Markdown format, designed to automate the process of republishing content across platforms. It extracts content from any webpage, removes unnecessary elements, and… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Hey HN! I originally built “html-to-markdown” back in 2018 (while still in high school) to handle complex HTML conversions where other libraries struggled. Now, I’ve released v2 — a complete rewrite designed to handle even more edge cases. It supports entire websites with a high accuracy. Example use: I’ve used it in my RSS reader to strip HTML down to clean Markdown, similar to the "Reader Mode" in your Browser. It can be used as a Golang package or as an CLI. Give it a try & tell me what edge cases you encounter!

    Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when…

    Hi Hacker News! I made this project to read a WordPress export and create the markdown files for Hugo. It'll speed up the process of moving your blog over to Hugo and let you avoid a bunch of manual work. It came about when I was talking to somebody who was trying to move their site over and didn't want to manually copy and reformat all their posts. They had trouble finding a tool to do it, so I wrote one. I want to make sure it's useful to people before charging them, so it'll give you a download with 3 pages and 5 blog posts converted for free and without asking for any information. If you…

    Hi! I recently created a little tool called LinkToMarkdown (](https://linktomarkdown.com/)). It extracts web content and generates clean Markdown text with just one click. To be honest, I developed this tool purely out of personal need. I often want to save articles from the web, but I'm always frustrated by ads, pop-ups, and all sorts of clutter. One day, I'd had enough and thought, "Why isn't there a tool that can give me just the plain text?" So I decided to roll up my sleeves and build it myself. That's how LinkToMarkdown was born. It can: 1. Automatically filter out junk…

    Hey HN I built MarkdownConverters.com — a tool that converts any file format (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, HTML, or URL) into clean, structured Markdown. I often needed to prep documents, reports, or scraped pages for AI pipelines, documentation, or version control, but existing tools either broke formatting, lost code blocks, or produced unreadable Markdown. So I built something that focuses on: • Accurate structure (headings, lists, tables, code, links) • Consistent Markdown output ready for LLMs or docs • Fast, browser-based conversion with privacy-friendly processing • Support for multi-format and…

    Hi HN, I built a free Markdown to HTML converter that solves a pain I kept running into with AI-generated content. For years, I relied on tools like ChatGPT and Claude to draft blog posts, but the Markdown they produced often broke existing converters. Instead of standard "*" or "-" for lists, I'd get odd symbols like ":" or "•". The converter would fail, leaving me to manually fix formatting every single time. It was frustrating and time-consuming. So I decided to build my own: Markdownhtmlgen.com. Key features: - Converts Markdown to HTML that actually works with AI-generated quirks -…
