Three import methods
Ordinary copy and paste
When the clipboard contains structured HTML, headings, lists, links, and tables are converted to Markdown. Plain-text-only sources are pasted unchanged.
Quick Send a selection
The selected HTML structure is rebuilt as Markdown—including headings, lists, links, tables, quotes, and code—then saved as `.md` or opened in the editor.
Bring in the current page body
The readable body is rebuilt as Markdown and opens directly in MD.SAVE reading mode while common navigation, ads, cookie notices, forms, and sharing controls are removed. Switch back to the editor whenever changes are needed.
How to use it
- Install MD.SAVE Quick Send from the Chrome Web Store.
- Select useful content, then use the right-click menu to save it as `.md` or edit it in MD.SAVE.
- For a whole article, open the extension popup and choose Open to read. Use Back to editor whenever you want to make changes.
For desktop Chrome. The default shortcut is Option/Alt + Shift + M and can be changed in Chrome settings.
Local processing and limits
The extension handles only the content you request from the current tab after you press an action. It has no always-on access to every site, account, analytics, or advertising code.
Rendered HTML is converted to the closest supported GFM structure; it cannot recover an unavailable original `.md` source. PDFs, canvas content, closed Shadow DOM, iframes, content not yet loaded, and restricted Chrome pages may be limited.
