About This OPML to Markdown Converter
This free OPML to Markdown converter was crafted for editors, developers, and product teams who need reliable outline exports without the bulk of desktop software. The app runs entirely in your browser, so sensitive strategy documents, podcast show notes, or research notes never leave your machine. Unlike heavier competitors, every interaction is optimized for sub-second feedback, meaning large hierarchies remain responsive and readable. Rounded cards, balanced typography, and shimmering shadows take their design cues from Kadence WordPress themes while still staying lightweight.
How to Use the Converter
Start by pasting OPML into the input panel or tapping Upload to select a .opml export from Roam, Logseq, Workflowy, or OmniOutliner. Choose your preferred Markdown structure—classic bulleted lists for note apps or heading hierarchies for documentation. Toggle whether you want OPML notes preserved as blockquotes, then hit Convert. The Markdown output appears instantly together with a live preview, hierarchy statistics, and a permalink you can share or bookmark. Tap Copy to place the Markdown on your clipboard or Download to generate a ready-to-publish .md file.
Tips for Cleaner Markdown
- Use the Trim empty outlines option when your source app adds blank bullets, keeping the final Markdown tidy for static site generators and docs portals.
- Select the Ordered bullet style whenever you are preparing step-by-step processes, product launch runbooks, or course outlines that depend on numbered sequences.
- Create a permalink after every major revision. The URL stores the original OPML along with your format choices so reviewers can replay or audit the conversion without zipping attachments.
