Drop FB2 (FictionBook) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the MD, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The FB2 to MD converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your e-books are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
FB2 does not open on Kindle or in Apple Books. Markdown is plain text that stays readable and is easy to keep in version control. FB2 is at home in e-books, especially from Russian-language libraries; MD is the usual choice for READMEs, notes and documentation.
The text encoding named in the file's XML declaration is used. Embedded PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP pictures are kept; links other than web and email addresses are dropped.
FB2 is an XML e-book format that separates a book's structure from its looks: sections, poems, epigraphs and notes are marked up, and the reader decides the layout. Images sit inside the file as base64 text. It is very common in Russian-language libraries.
Opens in FBReader, Calibre, PocketBook and most e-reader apps; not Kindle
FB2 converterMarkdown is plain text with a few symbols for headings, lists, links and emphasis. It is readable as-is and converts cleanly to HTML, which is why developers and note-takers favour it.
Opens in Any text editor; rendered by GitHub, Obsidian, Notion and many note apps

No. The FB2 to MD conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as MD supports it.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the FB2 file, press Convert and save the MD. There is nothing to install.
Yes. Files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
