# Markdown Web Clipper — one keystroke, clean Markdown Free & MIT-licensed · Chrome · Manifest V3 Convert any webpage to high-fidelity Markdown and save it exactly where you keep your notes — local folder, clipboard, download, Obsidian, or Gist. No cloud, no cleanup. No account, no telemetry, works offline. - [Add to Chrome — free](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/dpkinbemdemheacegfjbbkclcpbfedif?utm_source=markdownwebclipper.com&utm_medium=llms-txt&utm_campaign=home) - [View source (MIT)](https://github.com/Tigrandza/markdown-web-clipper) ## Why it's different Readability-based clippers flatten the parts that matter. Clipper runs Defuddle for extraction, then Turndown + GFM for conversion — locally, on the page you're looking at. 1. **Tables survive** — Wikipedia infoboxes with `rowspan`/`colspan` come through as real GFM tables. 2. **Math stays math** — KaTeX and MathML render to `$…$` / `$$…$$`. 3. **Code keeps its language** — fenced blocks keep their language hint and indentation. 4. **No cloud round-trip** — extraction runs in your browser on the live DOM. 5. **One keystroke** — bind a shortcut; the popup remembers your last destination and format. 6. **Frontmatter that's yours** — title, URL, date, source, tags emitted as YAML you control. ## Five destinations, zero accounts | Destination | Works offline | Best for | |---|---|---| | Local folder (File System Access API) | Yes | Obsidian & Logseq vaults — direct write, no sync server | | Clipboard | Yes | Piping into an LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) | | .md download | Yes | One-off saves | | Obsidian (`obsidian://` URI) | Yes | A specific vault + folder | | GitHub Gist (Pro) | Needs network | Shareable, versioned snippets | Four of five destinations work with the network unplugged. Only Gist — a publishing target — needs to reach out. ## Honest by construction - **No analytics, no telemetry.** Clipper makes no network calls except the destination you choose. Verify it in the source. - **MIT-licensed free edition.** Read it, fork it, audit what touches the page you're clipping. - **Trade-offs in the open.** Reference vs. inline images, what each destination can and can't do offline — documented, not hidden behind a Pro wall. ## Pro — optional, one-time The free edition is the whole product. Pro ($9 launch / $19 standard, one-time, lifetime) adds GitHub Gist destination, co-located image folders, unlimited multi-tab batch, and multi-vault routing.
