Why Markdown
Copying straight from a browser drags along menus, cookie banners and broken formatting. Markdown keeps only what matters: headings, paragraphs, lists, links, tables and code. It's the format AI assistants read best, and it pastes cleanly into docs, notes apps and code editors.
With Main content only ticked, the tool finds the article on the page the way a browser's reader view does. Untick it to convert everything. Pages that need you to log in, or that build their content with JavaScript after loading, may come back mostly empty.
