Why Clean Markdown Matters
LLM pipelines need structured text. Telegram's native export includes ads, metadata, HTML, and formatting noise. Raw scraping gives you mixed text with emojis, mentions, and inline links as raw markup.
telegram2text strips all that. You get:
- LLM-ready input — feed directly into tokenizers without cleaning
- Portable format — .md works in any IDE, any OS, any toolchain
- No parsing needed — each post is a block with a heading and date
"I used to spend 20 minutes per channel cleaning the output. Now it's a 10-second curl." — AI Researcher (early user)

FAQ
Is my data private? We don't store channel content. The export is generated on-the-fly and served once. Basic access logs (IP, channel, timestamp) are kept for rate limiting.
How many posts can I export? Up to 10,000 posts per channel. For larger channels, use the TXT format for smaller file size.
Can I export private channels? No — only public channels are supported. Private channels require Telegram authentication, which we don't handle.
Do I need to install anything? Zero installation. It's a web tool — paste, click, download.
Is it really free? Yes. Free during beta. No paywall, no hidden limits.
