Copy as Markdown by Builder Wrench

Copy as Markdown

100% free, forever. No premium tier, no ads, no data collection.

Select any content on a web page, press Ctrl+C / Cmd+C, and get clean Markdown instantly. No extra steps. Your regular copy shortcut becomes a Markdown converter.

Unlike other "copy as markdown" extensions that only convert individual links or images, this one converts entire selections: paragraphs, tables, code blocks, nested lists, headings, and 50+ HTML element types. Also available via right-click menu or a custom keyboard shortcut you define.

What makes this different:

• Replace Ctrl+C / Cmd+C with Markdown copy (toggle on/off in popup)
• Set your own custom keyboard shortcut directly in the popup (no chrome://extensions needed)
• Full selection conversion (not just links or images)
• Visual confirmation toast after every copy
• Clean output: no base64 image blobs, no empty links, no extra whitespace
• Minimal permissions (no tab access required)
• Works instantly on install. No options pages, no setup.
• 10 languages supported

Perfect for:
- Obsidian, Notion, and Markdown note-taking app users
- Developers writing documentation
- Bloggers and content creators
- Anyone who works with Markdown regularly

Supported formatting:
- Headings
- Bold, italic, strikethrough, highlighted text
- Links (always full URLs, never broken relative paths)
- Images with captions (responsive images supported)

- Inline quotes and citations

Privacy:
