MD-This-Page

MD-This-Page turns web pages into clean Markdown for copy, download, or LLM workflows, with right-click, Alt+M, and preview before export.

MD-This-Page

Overview

MD-This-Page is a browser extension that turns a webpage into clean Markdown with one click. It is built to keep the main structure of the page while stripping away browser clutter, so the result is easier to read, copy, and reuse.

The README positions the tool for people working with LLM workflows as well as anyone who wants a simple text-first version of a page. After conversion, the extracted content can be reviewed in a preview tab and exported by copying it, downloading it as a Markdown file, or using it as a prompt.

Features

One-click page conversion

Convert the current page from the right-click menu or with the Alt+M shortcut, so the workflow stays close to the content you are reading.

Smart content extraction

Uses Mozilla’s Readability library to isolate the main article or page content and ignore navigation, ads, and other noise.

Preview before export

Opens a dedicated preview tab where the extracted Markdown can be reviewed and refined before exporting.

Configurable Markdown output

Lets you choose whether to keep images and links, and whether to include metadata such as title, author, date, and source URL.

Document structure generation

Can generate a document structure or page map, which helps when you want a higher-level outline of the page as well as the content itself.

Multiple export paths

Supports clipboard copy, .md download, and copying as a prompt for AI workflows.

Use Cases

  • Capture readable text from the web

    Turn an article, reference page, or documentation page into Markdown so it is easier to copy into notes, editors, or documentation drafts.

  • Create cleaner input for AI tools

    Prepare page content for an LLM by reducing browser UI, ads, and other clutter before sending the text into a prompt or workflow.

  • Refine extracted content before sharing

    Review and adjust what should be included in the final output before exporting, especially when you want to remove images, links, or metadata.

  • Export pages for offline use

    Save page content as a Markdown file for later editing or redistribution, rather than keeping it only in browser form.

  • Install or develop from the repository

    Use the extension in Chrome or Firefox development builds when working from source, or install it from releases when you want the packaged extension.
