URL to Markdown Link Converter
100% PrivateURL & Link ToolsTurn a list of bare URLs into proper Markdown links with editable link text.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
- 1Paste your URLs, one per line. Bare domains get https:// added.
- 2Choose the link text: the full URL, the domain alone, or custom wording with {url}, {domain} and {n} placeholders.
- 3Copy the Markdown block from the result box.
- 4Paste it into your document and preview it wherever Markdown is rendered.
Input: https://ovatly.com/tools with link text set to the full URL. Output: [https://ovatly.com/tools](https://ovatly.com/tools) With link text set to domain only, the same line becomes: [ovatly.com](https://ovatly.com/tools)
- Square brackets in custom link text are escaped automatically so the Markdown stays valid.
- Spaces and brackets inside a URL itself are percent-encoded in the output, which some strict parsers require.
- Markdown has no equivalent of rel or target attributes, so links created here carry no nofollow or new-tab behavior; that is a limit of the format, not a missing option.
The destination formats differ. Use this one for Markdown documents (GitHub, Notion exports, Hugo and Jekyll content, forum posts) and the HTML converter for web page markup where attributes like rel and target matter.
About this tool
The URL to Markdown Link Converter turns a list of bare URLs into proper Markdown links, the [text](url) syntax used in READMEs, wikis, forums, note apps and static site content. Paste a column of addresses from a spreadsheet or a crawl and get a block you can drop straight into a document, with the label style you choose.
