The Problem
Plain HTML Is Not Enough
Generic converters give you bare tags. Your content deserves a design system.
Generic Converter
<h1>Project Launch Notes</h1><h2>Overview</h2><p>We are shipping <strong>v2.0</strong>with:</p><ul><li>Dark mode support</li><li>New animation system</li></ul>
- Plain <h1> and <p> tags
- No CSS or styling
- Not deployable as a page
- Loses visual hierarchy
Design System Driven
<article class="prose"><h1 style="color:#6366f1;font:600 36px Inter">Project Launch Notes</h1><div class="swatch-bar"><span>#6366f1</span></div><p class="lead">Overview</p></article>
- Full CSS design system
- Colors, fonts, spacing intact
- Single-file deployable HTML
- Responsive and polished

Yes. Any standard Markdown file works — blog posts, documentation, READMEs, notes. The DESIGN.md provides the visual layer while your Markdown provides the content structure.
DESIGN.md is a structured design system document generated by the Design Extractor Chrome extension. It captures a website's complete visual language — colors, typography, spacing, components, and atmosphere — in a machine-readable format.
Yes. The generated HTML includes embedded CSS derived from the DESIGN.md design system. All styles are self-contained in a single file, so no external dependencies are needed.
Absolutely. The HTML uses responsive CSS with mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints inherited from the source design system.
To generate DESIGN.md from live websites, yes — the Chrome extension is required. However, once you have a DESIGN.md, you can convert Markdown to HTML independently. The extension is free and works with your own API Key.
The generated HTML is semantic and class-named, making it easy to override styles. Advanced users can extract the markup and apply custom stylesheets or edit the embedded CSS directly.
Yes. The Free tier lets you use your own OpenAI-compatible API Key for unlimited usage. Pro and Max plans offer platform-hosted AI analysis without configuring your own key.
