Why teams use this tool
Migrating off HTML-heavy CMS exports gets easier when structure survives the first paste.
Predictable Git diffs
Markdown lines up with how engineers review changes in pull requests, unlike noisy HTML reflows.
Preserves structure
Headings, lists, links, tables, and fenced code survive the trip so you spend less time fixing syntax.
Privacy-friendly
Paste locally—ideal for internal wikis or staging exports you cannot upload to a third party.
