Save HTML as Markdown door eupthere

Save any webpage as a clean Markdown file.

2. See a preview with the page title, author, and word count
3. Optionally enable image embedding
4. Click "Save as Markdown" — done

➤ Features

• Smart content extraction — strips navigation, ads, and sidebars using Defuddle to capture only the main article content
• YAML frontmatter — title, author, publish date, description, source URL, site name, and saved timestamp
• GitHub Flavored Markdown — tables, strikethrough, and task lists
• Image embedding — optionally embed images as base64 data URLs for fully offline Markdown files
• Clean Markdown output — ATX headings, fenced code blocks, bullet lists, inline links

➤ Output format

Files are saved as "{page title}.md" with frontmatter:

All processing happens locally in your browser. No data is collected, stored, or sent to any server. No analytics, no tracking, no account required. The extension only reads page content when you click the icon.
