What is Front Matter?

A front matter generator that outputs the --- delimited YAML block many static-site generators expect at the top of a Markdown file.

How it works

Form fields are serialized into a clean YAML block, with empty fields omitted so the output stays tidy.

  1. Enter your input. Type or paste your input into the field above — the tool responds instantly.
  2. Review the result. Output updates live as you type. Everything runs entirely in your browser.
  3. Copy or download. Use the Copy button to grab the result, or Download to save it as a file.
