How it works
Publish your Notion page
Open the Notion page you want to export. Click Share → Publish → Enable public access. Copy the public URL.
Paste it above
Drop the URL into the input and click Convert. We fetch the page via Notion's public API.
Get clean Markdown
Copy the clean Markdown or download as a .md file. URL encoding fixed, toggle blocks cleaned, callouts normalized.
How do I convert a Notion page to Markdown?
Open the Notion page you want to convert. Click Share in the top right → Publish tab → Enable public access. Copy the public URL. Paste it into the box above and click Convert. You get clean Markdown in 5 seconds — URL encoding fixed, toggle blocks normalized, callouts cleaned, ready to drop into Obsidian, a blog, or a Git repo.
Does this work on private Notion pages?
The tool needs the page to be publicly accessible (the Share → Publish flow). If your page is private, just enable public access temporarily, paste the URL, download the Markdown, then revoke public access. The whole process takes under a minute.
Why convert Notion to Markdown
Five common use cases. Migration to Obsidian. Obsidian is local-first, file-based, and never goes down. Move your knowledge base from Notion (cloud, paid) to Obsidian (local, free) and own your data permanently. Static site generators. Astro, Hugo, Eleventy, Jekyll — all consume Markdown. Most dev blogs, docs sites, and personal websites are powered by Markdown source files. Git repos for documentation. Engineers and technical writers store Markdown docs in Git repos. Pull requests, version control, code review — Notion can't match this workflow. AI workflows. Claude, GPT, and other tools consume Markdown easily. Clean Markdown means clean input to LLMs. Archive and backup. Notion's data export is messy. Clean Markdown is human-readable forever, even if Notion goes away.
What gets cleaned in the conversion
URL encoding fixed: `%20` becomes space, `%2F` becomes `/`, `%3A` becomes `:`. Spaces and special characters in URLs render correctly.
Toggle blocks: Notion's 'click to expand' blocks become standard Markdown sections or are removed entirely (your choice). No more `\
Privacy and how we handle your data
We don't log the Notion URLs you submit. We don't store the page content. We don't require account creation. When you paste a public Notion URL, our server fetches the page via Notion's public API endpoint and returns clean Markdown to your browser. We don't cache, archive, or analyze the content. Notion's public API is the same endpoint their official Notion Importer uses for migration to other tools. The content is by definition public when you enable the Publish toggle.
Does this preserve code blocks?
Yes — code blocks export with their language hint (Python, JavaScript, etc.) preserved. Renders correctly in Obsidian, Hugo, and any tool that supports fenced code blocks. Multi-line code stays multi-line.
What about embedded databases?
Database tables export as standard Markdown tables. Properties like Status, Tags, Date become plain text columns. For full database export with filtering and formulas, use Notion's own CSV export in addition to our Markdown export.
Are Notion mentions (@username) preserved?
Mentions export as plain text or as proper Markdown links if they reference a public page. For private user mentions, they become plain text since the linked user isn't publicly accessible.
