How do I convert a webpage to Markdown with this Chrome Extension?

To convert a webpage to Markdown, simply install the extension and click the Copy Markdown icon in your Chrome toolbar. The extension parses the active tab's Document Object Model (DOM) instantly, removes visual clutter, and copies clean, structured Markdown to your clipboard automatically.

Does the Copy Markdown extension respect user privacy?

Yes, Copy Markdown is 100% privacy-first and runs entirely locally. It operates strictly within your browser using the Manifest V3 scripting API. It never collects data, tracks cookies, or sends requests to external remote servers.

What markdown files can be generated from the active page?

The extension extracts three specialized files: CONTENT.md for main body text, headings, and tables; DESIGN.md for CSSOM design system tokens and computed styling; and LINKS.md for a complete sitemap and hyperlink list.

Can I use this extension for feeding webpages to LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude?

Absolutely. Copy Markdown is highly optimized for LLMs. It strips out heavy HTML boilerplate like sidebars, headers, scripts, and navigation menus. This returns clean Markdown that drastically reduces token counts and preserves the structural relationships necessary for AI models to understand the content.
