How it works
Paste or type your text in the box and YAML Frontmatter Extractor transforms it instantly — no button to press. The result updates live as you edit, runs entirely in your browser, and you can copy the output with one click.
Examples
- “--- ⏎ title: Hello ⏎ date: 2026-01-01 ⏎ --- ⏎ Body text” → “title: Hello ⏎ date: 2026-01-01”
