MdPicker - Markdown Link Copier

Copy links as Markdown format directly from context menu.

MdPicker is a lightweight Chrome extension that adds two powerful options to your right-click context menu: "Copy Link as Markdown" and "Copy Selection as Markdown." With a single click, you can convert any web link or selected text into clean, ready-to-paste Markdown — no setup required. --- ✨ KEY FEATURES 🔗 Copy Link as Markdown Hover over any hyperlink, right-click, and select "Copy Link as Markdown." MdPicker automatically extracts the link's display text and URL, then saves it to your clipboard as [Link Text](https://example.com) — perfectly formatted Markdown, every time. 📝 Copy Selection as Markdown Select any text on a webpage — paragraphs, headings, bold text, bullet lists, and more — then right-click and choose "Copy Selection as Markdown." MdPicker intelligently analyzes the underlying HTML structure and converts it into accurate Markdown syntax (e.g., # Heading, **bold**, - list item), preserving the visual formatting of the original content. 🛡️ Secure & Modern Architecture (Manifest V3) Built fully in compliance with Chrome's latest Manifest V3 standard. Operates via a lightweight Service Worker with no persistent background processes, and uses the Offscreen Document API for secure, reliable clipboard access — no legacy hacks required. --- 🎯 WHO IS IT FOR? - Developers writing documentation in Markdown - Technical writers and bloggers - Note-takers using Obsidian, Notion, Joplin, or Bear - Anyone who frequently pastes web content into GitHub, GitLab, or README files --- 🚀 HOW TO USE Copying a link: 1. Hover your mouse over any link on a webpage. 2. Right-click and select "Copy Link as Markdown." 3. Paste the result (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) into your editor — you'll get [Link Text](URL). Copying selected text: 1. Drag to select any text, list, or heading on a webpage. 2. Right-click and select "Copy Selection as Markdown." 3. Paste the converted Markdown directly into your document. --- 🔒 PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED MdPicker requests only the minimum permissions necessary: - contextMenus: To add items to the right-click menu. - clipboardWrite: To copy the Markdown text to your clipboard. - offscreen: To safely access the clipboard from the background service worker (a Manifest V3 requirement).
