Your notes live in Obsidian, and the people you send them to don’t have it. One command turns a note into a clean page with a link, already on your clipboard. Edit the note and publish again: the page updates, and the link you sent keeps working.
See it in the directory · In Community plugins · GitHub
Four things, each one command in the palette, and none of them asks you to leave Obsidian.
Publish once and the note becomes a page shared by link. Fix a typo, add a section, publish again: the same page updates, and everybody who has the link sees the new version. No second link to send, no “use this one instead”. The last ten versions are kept.
The same link after every edit
Tables, callouts, code, task lists, footnotes, highlights and Mermaid diagrams come out right, in the reader’s light or dark theme. Pictures from the vault travel inside the page, so moving files around later breaks nothing.
Mermaid, callouts and tables
Share with people… limits a note to the email addresses you name: only they can open it, once signed in, and each gets the link by email. Make private stops sharing in one step, and the old link stops working for good.
Named people, or nobody
Need a file for an email or a form? Export as Word and Export as PDF build it from the note’s latest text and save it beside the note in your vault, ready to attach.
.docx and .pdf in the vault
The same commands on iPhone, iPad and Android. Publish from the train and paste the link into the chat before you get off.
What usually happens to a note on its way to somebody else, and what happens with the plugin.
| Sending it by hand | With the plugin | |
|---|---|---|
| How it looks | Pasted Markdown arrives as asterisks and pipes; a screenshot crops the table | A page with the tables, callouts and diagrams drawn |
| After an edit | A new file or a new paste, while the old one keeps circulating | The same link shows the new version |
| Who can open it | Whoever it was forwarded to | Anyone with the link, named people only, or nobody |
| Taking it back | Not possible once it is sent | Make private, and the link stops working |
| A file for email | Export, rename, find it, attach it | Word or PDF saved next to the note |
Press Add to Obsidian on this page, or in Obsidian open Settings, Community plugins, Browse, and search for TransformPipe. Install, then Enable.
In the plugin’s settings, press Sign in. TransformPipe opens in your browser, you approve, and the browser hands you back to Obsidian. There is no API key to paste.
Open a note, press `Ctrl/Cmd + P` and run Publish note. The page is up and its link is on your clipboard.
In Obsidian’s secret storage, which is your system keychain, and not in the plugin’s settings file, so it does not travel with a synced vault. Sign out hands it back to TransformPipe.
In your TransformPipe account until you delete it, and it is never used to train a model. It is not end-to-end encrypted: drawing a page or a Word file means reading it.
The plugin is MIT-licensed on GitHub, and Obsidian’s directory rebuilds every release from that source and checks it matches the published file byte for byte.
Yes. The plugin is free and open source, and the TransformPipe account it publishes to is free as well. An account holds up to 500 documents and 100 MB, which is a lot of notes.
Yes. Publishing keeps the note in your TransformPipe account, which is what lets the same link show a newer version and lets you take it back later. You sign in once, from the plugin’s settings, in your browser — with Google, or an email and a password — and Obsidian keeps the sign-in in your system keychain.
Obsidian Publish turns a set of notes into a website with its own navigation, on Obsidian’s paid service. This plugin sends one note at a time as one page with one link, for when you want to share a document rather than run a site. The two do not get in each other’s way.
No. Publish note updates the page the note was published to, and the link stays the same; the plugin remembers it in three front-matter fields on the note. Only Make private ends a link — publishing after that makes a new one.
A `[[link]]` comes out as its text, and pictures embedded with `![[picture.png]]` are carried inside the page. An embedded note is not inlined yet, and a link to another published note does not point at its page yet; both are planned.
Up to 4 MB with its pictures. Each picture can be up to 1 MB and a note can carry 2 MB of them; a bigger picture stays a link, and the plugin tells you which ones.
Yes. The plugin runs in Obsidian on iPhone, iPad and Android with the same commands, and signing in goes through the phone’s browser and back into Obsidian.
Publish your first note. Free account. Desktop and mobile. The same link after every edit.
