Simple Export to Markdown adds a small, useful panel inside the WordPress block editor.
With a single click, you can export the current post or page to Markdown — either download a .md file or copy it directly to the clipboard.
The plugin uses the Turndown library to accurately convert Gutenberg blocks into Markdown syntax, preserving headings, paragraphs, images, lists, quotes, and other standard content.
Features
- Export any Gutenberg post or page directly to Markdown.
- Two modes: Download .md or Copy to Clipboard.
- Auto-generated YAML front matter (
title,slug,date,categories,tags). - Works natively inside the block editor — no admin pages or complex settings.
- Lightweight (under 14 KB of JS), no tracking, no external API calls.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or newer.
- PHP 7.4 or newer.
- Active Gutenberg (block) editor.
