Copy as Markdown

Copy as Markdown is a powerful browser extension designed to streamline the process of copying content from web pages directly as Markdown format. With this tool, users can easily copy hyperlinks, images, and selected text while preserving formatting such as italic, bold, strike-through, and inline code.

The extension supports copying unordered and ordered lists, including task lists, tables compliant with GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), and fenced code blocks with automatic language detection. It offers flexibility by allowing individual selection of links or images when dealing with linked images. While Chrome imposes some limitations on extracting alt texts or anchor texts for Markdown, the extension fully supports this functionality in Firefox.

For operation, Copy as Markdown requests permissions to display context menu options and access the active tab's content. Importantly, it only writes to the clipboard and does not read clipboard data, ensuring user privacy. This extension is an essential tool for developers, writers, and anyone who frequently converts web content into Markdown for documentation, notes, or publishing.
