Guides

What this tool does

Enter a live URL and this tool fetches the page server-side and returns a structured JSON snapshot: the page's title, meta description, canonical URL, its full H1-H6 heading hierarchy, every link on the page (split into internal/external), and a word count. Use it for quick API testing, prototyping a scraper's expected data shape, or pulling a page's key facts into another program without writing your own HTML parser.

How to use it

  1. Enter the page's URL.
  2. Click Convert to JSON.
  3. Copy the result or download it as a .json file.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this run on the server instead of my browser? Browsers block cross-origin page fetches (CORS) for most sites, so fetching an arbitrary URL has to happen server-side. Only the requested page is fetched; nothing else is stored.

What's in the links array? Every <a href> link, resolved to an absolute URL and capped at 500 items for very large pages. Each entry includes the link text and whether it's internal (same host as the page you fetched) or external.

I need XML instead of JSON — is there a version of this? Yes — URL to XML returns the exact same data, serialized as XML instead.

Does it run JavaScript on the page? No. It only sees the HTML the server returns on the initial request — content injected by client-side JavaScript after page load won't appear in the result.

URL toolkit

Thirty-one tools for everything a URL can become: its raw HTML, clean text, Markdown, structured JSON or XML, a screenshot, a PDF, or a QR code — plus tools to inspect its meta tags, heading outline, links, and IP addresses without opening it. Every live-fetch tool here runs server-side, so it works even on sites that block cross-origin requests from a browser. Round it out with a combined multi-scheme encoder/decoder and the focused single-purpose tools underneath it.
