Markdowned

Convert any web page to clean Markdown — smart content extraction, GFM tables, one-click copy and download.

Markdowned turns the page you're reading into clean, well-formed Markdown with a single click. Copy it to your clipboard or download it as a .md file — everything runs entirely on your device. WHY MARKDOWNED? Copying a web page rarely gives you usable text: you get styling junk, broken tables, relative links that point nowhere, and a pile of navigation and ads around the actual content. Markdowned produces Markdown that survives being pasted anywhere — into a note-taking app, a Git repo, a static site generator, or an LLM prompt. WHAT IT DOES ✓ One-click conversion — open the popup, hit Convert page, done. ✓ Real GFM tables — proper pipe tables with correct escaping, where most converters flatten tables into word soup. ✓ Absolute URLs — relative links and images are rewritten against the page URL, and lazy-loaded images are resolved, so the output works wherever you paste it. ✓ Smart scope — convert the full page (default) or switch to "Main content", which uses Readability-style scoring to isolate the article and drop menus, sidebars and "related articles" rails. The result line shows how much of the page was kept. ✓ Figures with captions, code blocks, blockquotes, nested lists — all preserved. ✓ Embedded iframe content is included when accessible. MAKE THE OUTPUT YOURS - Links: inline [t](url), referenced [t][1], or stripped to plain text - Images: keep or remove - Emphasis: _underscore_ or *asterisk* - Headings: ATX (#) or Setext (underline) - Bullets: - * + · Code blocks: fenced or indented - Optional YAML frontmatter (title, url, date) "Strip links" and "Remove images" are perfect when preparing text for an AI assistant — clean prose without URL clutter. All settings persist between sessions. WORKFLOW DETAILS - Copy to clipboard or download as a slugified .md file (e.g. quantum-chips-arrive-2026-07-02.md) - Reopening the popup on the same page restores your last conversion instantly - Every step is timeout-bounded — a stuck page shows an error, never an endless spinner PRIVATE BY DESIGN Markdowned makes zero network requests. No external servers, no analytics, no tracking, no accounts — it doesn't even request host permissions. The page is read only when you click the button, and your settings are stored locally in your browser. The source code is open (MIT licensed).
