Method 1 · Copy and paste
When a site adds structured HTML to the clipboard, MD.SAVE reconstructs headings, paragraphs, lists, links, tables, quotes, and code as Markdown. Plain-text-only sources remain plain text.
Method 2 · Quick Send
The Chrome extension reads your selection or the readable body from the rendered page. It helps when a site strips clipboard formatting and can open the result in MD.SAVE or save `.md` directly.
Review the conversion
- Select the article body to avoid navigation, comments, and recommendation cards.
- Images and relative links behind a login may not work elsewhere.
- Canvas, iframes, video, and interactive widgets do not map to Markdown.
- Use preview and the document outline to check the heading flow before export.
Choose selection or readable body deliberately
A selection gives better control for one table or a few quoted paragraphs. Use readable-body capture for a full article, then check the first H1 and last paragraph so author bios, related posts, and comments did not slip into the result.
Limits that remain after export
- Authenticated images and links do not become public with the Markdown file.
- Canvas charts do not automatically turn their axes and values into prose.
- Publication date and author may need to be added when they sit outside the article body.
- Check copyright and workplace export rules before sharing captured material.
