Paste as Markdown Chrome Extension

"Paste as Markdown" is a Chrome extension that allows users to easily convert the content of their clipboard into Markdown format when pasting it into any web form. The content can be sourced from anywhere and in any rich text format such as italics, bold, lists, and more. The conversion occurs during the pasting process. This tool is entirely browser-based and ensures the data does not leave your browser for privacy. It recently added the ability to interpret inline styles bold & italic, particularly useful for Google Docs users.

User reviews

This extension worked exactly as advertised. I copied text from an email which included hyperlinks and pasted it into a Trello card where the links were preserved exactly as intended. Nicely done. Thank you.

Does what it says on the tin, does it well. Makes it easy to post the erotica I write to websites that only support markdown when pasting from rich text docs.

Great way to fill the gap when working with markdown inputs, thank you! Now I can copy anything into GitHub comments. I noticed a couple of little things that could be improved: - Multi-level lists seem to get flattened to a single level - A table wasn't converted to markdown. (but it remained as HTML which still displays fine in GitHub) The keyboard shortcut (Alt+C) is handy, but not advertised (please show it in the description above and in context menu if possible). It would be great to be able to customise the keyboard shortcut, it doesn't seem intuitive to me (on a Mac).
