Copy Webpage as Markdown

Copy Webpage as Markdown is a browser extension designed to extract the main content from any webpage and convert it into clean Markdown or plain text. The tool addresses the common problem of copying cluttered web content, which often includes unwanted navigation menus, ads, sidebars, and invisible characters that can interfere with note-taking, research, or use in AI prompts. By focusing on the article body and removing unnecessary elements, it streamlines the process of transferring structured content into applications such as ChatGPT, Obsidian, and other note-taking or research tools.

The extension operates with a single click, either through its toolbar icon or using the Alt+C (Option+C on macOS) keyboard shortcut. It extracts the main article body, cleans up HTML, and removes extraneous navigation elements, outputting the result as formatted Markdown or plain text directly to the clipboard. The tool preserves document structure, including headings, lists, code blocks, and tables, converting HTML tables to Markdown syntax and wrapping code in fenced blocks. Users can also employ an element picker to select a specific section of a page rather than the entire content. The extension supports content extraction from single-page applications, such as those built with React, Vue, or Angular, as long as the content is visible in the browser. It also works on password-protected pages if the user is logged in.

Copy Webpage as Markdown is available for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers via the Chrome Web Store, as well as for Mozilla Firefox through Firefox Add-ons. It operates entirely locally within the browser, with no data sent to external servers, no telemetry, and no account required. The extension is completely free to use, with no subscriptions or hidden fees, and its source code is publicly available for audit, contribution, or self-building.

As a browser extension focused on content extraction and Markdown conversion, Copy Webpage as Markdown is suitable for users who need clean, structured web content for research, note-taking, or integration with AI tools, and who value privacy and simplicity in their workflow.
