LOCAL FIRST · CHROME & EDGE EXTENSION
Turn WeChat articles, blogs, news and tutorials into local Markdown files with this Chrome and Edge extension. Save extracted articles to your local library, then bring them into your notes. Article bodies stay in your browser; no account is needed to start.
QUICK ANSWER
WeChat to Markdown (wx2md.com) is a local-first Chrome and Edge extension built and maintained by Wangshan that saves WeChat Official Account articles and ordinary article-style web pages as local Markdown files; article bodies are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
01 / WORKFLOW
Start with an article you can access in Chrome or Edge. No account is required for basic use.
01 · OPENOpen an article you have permission to save, click the extension and choose the current-page tool. Web and WeChat single-article exports share the free allowance. Complex apps, unusual layouts and dynamic content may not be extracted fully; access controls are not bypassed.
02 · EXPORTChoose Markdown. Include local images when you need an archive that can be read offline.
03 · KEEPUnzip the archive and keep its folders together. Open the Markdown in Obsidian, SiYuan, Typora or VS Code.
Article parsing and export run in your browser. Article bodies, URLs and titles are not sent to the operator. Image downloads contact the original image host; license checks and updates may contact the operator. Optional product analytics are off by default. See the privacy policy.
You can start without an account. The current free plan includes 10 single-article exports per month, shared across Markdown, HTML, PNG and image ZIP exports; failed or cancelled exports do not count. Browser PDF printing currently does not count. See current plans and limits.
Export Markdown, HTML or PNG, or save a PDF through the browser print dialog. Optional image ZIP archives package files for local reading; keep the extracted folder structure intact.
Yes. Export Markdown, unzip any image archive, and move the files into your Obsidian vault or import them into SiYuan. Typora and VS Code can also open Markdown. Advanced integrations belong to the full version.
The full version supports user-initiated collection archiving, including incremental exports, split archives and resume. A limited free collection trial is available; see the plan details.
No. Use it only for content you have the right to access and use. It does not bypass login, paywalls or platform restrictions, and saving a file does not grant republication rights.
Community v0.3.0 open-sources only the core MVP: single WeChat article Markdown exports, optional image ZIPs and quick saving. It does not include ordinary web-page extraction, the local article library or collection archiving, and is not the store free plan. The store product is versioned independently and combines free and paid Pro features in one extension. Official installation is available through the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons with the same entitlement rules; their published versions may temporarily differ during store review.
No. There is no automatic expiry, but uninstalling the extension, clearing browser data or changing browser profiles can remove local data. Export or back up files regularly.
The download page links to the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Install through the store for your browser; updates are delivered by that store.
