Paste a published help article and download an editable .md file. Relative links become full URLs so they still lead to the original resources after export.

## Inputs

- Public article URL — Use a public HTTPS address.

## How it works

The converter reads one public HTML document and prefers an article element, then a main element, then the body. It keeps common text formatting, headings, links, ordered steps and code. Review the preview before importing it into a new editor.

## Worked example

A guide with an “Installation” heading, three numbered steps and a link to /settings becomes a Markdown heading, an ordered list and a link pointing back to the source domain.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I export several help articles?

Run the converter once per article. Each result includes its own Markdown download. For a collection page, choose a specific article link first.

### What happens to embedded videos and custom components?

The output focuses on written content. Reinsert video embeds, screenshots, tabs and interactive components in the destination editor.

### Which articles can be read?

Use a public HTTPS URL that serves article text as HTML within 512 KiB. Articles behind a login, bot challenge or JavaScript-only viewer may require an export from your existing help desk.
