Web page in.
Markdown out.

WebToMarkdown copies the readable part of the page you are on — docs, articles, release notes — and leaves the navigation, sidebars, and cookie prompts behind. Clean Markdown, straight to your clipboard.

01 — What it keeps

The content stays. The chrome goes.

It finds the page's main content area and converts its structure, not just its text. Everything around it is left on the page.

02 — How to copy

Three ways in. Copy it or save it.

  1. 1

    Toolbar popup

    Click the icon and press Copy Current Page or Download .md. You get a word count, a preview, and the page saved to History.

    Copy Current Page · Download .md
  2. 2

    Page menu

    Right-click anywhere on the page and choose to copy it or download it. A small toast confirms it worked.

    Right-click → Copy or Download page as Markdown
  3. 3

    Keyboard shortcut

    Never leave the keyboard. Rebind it, or add a key for downloads, in your browser's extension shortcut settings.

    ⌥⇧M

03 — Settings

Six switches. All on by default.

Decide what wraps the content you copy and whether copies are kept. Settings are stored in your browser and open right in the popup.

Aggressive pruning
Remove sidebars, toolbars, feedback widgets, cookie prompts, and similar chrome.
Include frontmatter
Add title, source URL, and capture time as YAML frontmatter.
Include title heading
Insert a top-level Markdown heading when the page does not already have one.
Include source link
Add a plain source URL line near the top of the document.
Preserve tables
Convert HTML tables into Markdown pipe tables where possible.
Save copy history
Keep a list of pages you copy, on this device, so you can copy or download them again.
