Copy anything as Markdown

Links, selections with formatting, quotes with sources, images and whole tab lists — turned into clean Markdown with one click, a shortcut or the right-click menu.

Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers.

Everything you copy, ready for your notes

CopyMD keeps the structure that matters and drops the clutter.

Right-click menu

Copy a link, an image, the selection, a quote or the page itself straight from the context menu.

Formatting preserved

Bold, italics, code, links, lists, headings, quotes, code blocks with language and tables become proper Markdown.

Quotes with sources

Copy a passage as a blockquote that ends with a link to the page it came from.

All tabs as a list

Turn every tab in a window into a tidy list of links — perfect for research notes and reading lists.

Your format

Presets for Markdown, Markdown with date, Org-mode, HTML, BBCode and plain text, or write your own templates.

Copy history

Your last 20 copies stay one click away in the popup, on your device only.

Keyboard shortcuts

Alt+Shift+L copies the page link, Alt+Shift+M copies the selection. Change them any time.

Private by design

No account, no tracking, no ads. Pages are read only when you ask and nothing leaves your browser.

How it works

Select or point

Select text, right-click a link or image, or just open the page you want to share.

Copy

Use the right-click menu, a keyboard shortcut or the big buttons in the CopyMD popup.

Paste anywhere

Paste into Obsidian, Notion, GitHub, Logseq, Slack, your editor or a forum. A ✓ on the icon confirms the copy.

One click, many formats

Pick a preset or write templates with placeholders like {title}, {url}, {selection} and {date}.

Frequently asked questions

Is CopyMD free?

Yes. CopyMD is free, with no account, no ads and no paid tier.

What data does CopyMD collect?

None. Conversion happens on your device. The page you copy from is read only at the moment you ask for a copy, and the history of your last 20 copies is stored locally in your browser. You can turn the history off or clear it at any time.

Why does it ask to read tab titles?

Only “Copy all tabs as a list” needs the titles and addresses of all tabs. Chrome asks for that permission the first time you use this feature; everything else works without it.

Does it work on every website?

It works on regular web pages. Chrome doesn't allow extensions to read its own pages (like chrome:// settings) or the Chrome Web Store; there you can still copy the page link from the right-click menu.

Can I change the output format?

Yes. Choose a preset in the popup or open Settings to edit the templates for links, images, selections, quotes and tab lists, and to pick bullet, emphasis and code fence styles.

Which apps can I paste into?

Anything that accepts text: Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, Bear, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Slack, Discord, VS Code, forums and more.
