Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert an X article to Markdown?

Paste any X (Twitter) article or tweet URL into the input field above and click Convert. xtomd instantly extracts the full content — headings, bold, italic, lists, images — and converts it to clean, copy-ready Markdown.

What types of X content does this support?

xtomd supports X Articles (long-form posts), regular tweets, and tweets with images. The tool automatically detects the content type and extracts the maximum available content.

Can I paste the output into Claude, ChatGPT, or other AI tools?

Yes. The Markdown output is specifically designed for AI analysis. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any LLM for summaries, critiques, translations, or deep analysis. Markdown preserves the article structure so the AI understands headings, emphasis, and lists.

Does this work with Obsidian and Notion?

Absolutely. The Markdown output includes proper formatting with YAML-compatible metadata (author, date, source URL). You can paste directly into Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, or any Markdown-based knowledge management tool.

Is xtomd free? Do I need to sign up?

xtomd is 100% free with no login required. No account, no limits, no data stored. Just paste a URL and get Markdown instantly.

Do the image links in the output work?

Yes. Image URLs from X (pbs.twimg.com) are public CDN links that work in any Markdown renderer, browser, or AI tool. They load anywhere without authentication.
