Show HN: arxiv2md: Convert ArXiv papers to markdown

timf34 Saturday, January 10, 2026

I got tired of copy-pasting arXiv PDFs / HTML into LLMs and fighting references, TOCs, and token bloat. So I basically made gitingest.com but for arxiv papers. You can just append "2md" to any arxiv URL (with HTML support), and you'll be given a clean markdown version, and the ability to trim what you wish very easily (ie cut out references, or appendix, etc.)

Summary
arXiv2md is an open-source tool that converts academic papers in the arXiv preprint format to Markdown, allowing for easier reading and sharing of research content on the web.
