Notion to Markdown Converter

Notion to Markdown with YAML Frontmatter

When processing a Notion export to Markdown, Notion's block-based editor wraps elements in typed div containers with notion-* class names. Powered by our core Markdown converter, OG Bridge uses custom Turndown rules—removeNotionWrappers, notionListItems, and notionTable—for precision Notion table to Markdown conversion, turning cell structures into clean GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) pipe tables.

Automated Notion YAML Frontmatter

OG Bridge extracts the main title from your Notion export and appends a current publishedAt date stamp, generating standard YAML frontmatter instantly compatible with static site generators or note vaults.

# Content Operations at Scale

Notion wraps every block in a typed div. Headings,
toggles, callouts, and tables each carry a distinct
class name that identifies the block type during
clipboard copy.

- Block-based content model
- Typed class names per block

| Name | Status | Priority |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Task 1 | Done | High |
| Task 2 \| Option |  | Medium |

Frequently Asked Questions

Does OG Bridge send my Notion content to a server?
No. All conversion runs inside your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you paste is transmitted anywhere.

How does Notion HTML detection work?
Notion HTML is identified by searching for the .notion-page-content class, which wraps the main page canvas during copy-paste.

What frontmatter is generated for Notion?
Notion output generates clean YAML with the extracted page title and a publishedAt date stamp.

Does OG Bridge preserve Notion tables when converting to Markdown?
Yes. OG Bridge's custom notionTable rule reconstructs standard GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) pipe-table syntax directly from notion-table-row and notion-table-cell divs. It also intelligently escapes any pipe characters (|) found inside the cell text to ensure the table layout remains valid.

Does OG Bridge preserve nested bulleted lists from Notion?
No, nested indentation is not currently preserved. The custom notionListItems rule converts Notion bulleted list items into a flat, clean list format using a single-level "\n- " + content syntax.

Can I convert a Notion page copied directly from the browser, or do I need to export it first?
You can copy and paste directly from your browser—no export step is required. When you copy blocks inside Notion, the clipboard HTML includes the .notion-page-content wrapper class which OG Bridge automatically detects and parses on paste.
