Format Link

Format a link and copy it to the clipboard in your favorite format. You can use keyboard shortcuts, the toolbar button, or context menus to copy a link. You can escape meta characters, for example ] (closing square bracket) in markdown title.

Features & Capabilities

Format Link is a versatile Chrome extension that lets you format any link and copy it to your clipboard in various customizable formats. You can use keyboard shortcuts, a toolbar button, or context menu options to quickly copy links in the default or chosen formats. The extension supports escaping meta characters, making it perfect for Markdown, HTML, LaTeX, and more.

With flexible settings, you can edit formatting templates using a mini template language referencing variables like title, url, and text. This allows you to tailor how links are output — including string substitutions and character escaping — for precise results. Whether capturing a selected link or the current page URL, Format Link simplifies and speeds up your workflow for sharing or saving links.

Is Format Link Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
