FAQ

Can I paste from Chrome without saving a file?

Yes — paste HTML into the input box. This tool does not fetch URLs from the network; use Obsidian Web Clipper or save-as-HTML for full pages.

Are images added to my vault?

No. Image tags become markdown with remote URLs. Download images separately if you want local attachments.

Is my HTML uploaded?

No. Parsing and conversion run entirely in your browser.
