Three page conversion modes
Convert the main content, the full page, or only the text selected in the browser. Clean page mode removes navigation and other clutter, while full page mode keeps useful rendered content in reading order.

What is Page to Markdown?
Page to Markdown is a free Chrome extension that converts webpages or selected content into clean Markdown. It can process a page’s main content, the full page, or text highlighted by the user, with output intended for notes, documentation, research, AI tools, and coding workflows.
The extension runs conversion locally in Chrome. It preserves useful structure such as headings, links, images, lists, blockquotes, tables, fenced code blocks, and expandable details when available. The resulting Markdown can be copied or downloaded as a .md file.
What can Page to Markdown do?
Selection conversion from the context menu
Highlight the portion of a page you need and use Selection mode or the browser’s “Copy selection as Markdown” command.
Structure-aware Markdown output
Preserves headings, links, images, lists, and blockquotes instead of flattening the source into an undifferentiated block of text.
Technical content preservation
Tables, fenced code blocks, and expandable details are preserved when available, supporting technical notes and code-related workflows.
Copy or download results
Send the generated Markdown to the clipboard or download it as a ready-to-use `.md` file.
Local browser processing
Conversion takes place locally in Chrome after an explicit request. The extension has no account requirement, server, AI API, cloud sync, analytics, advertising, or runtime network requests.
Use Cases
“Capture research material”
Convert a clean version of an article or reference page for use in research notes without carrying over navigation and other page clutter.
“Prepare context for AI tools”
Select only the relevant passage and copy it as Markdown when supplying structured webpage content to an AI workflow.
“Create documentation from web references”
Use full-page or clean-page conversion to turn web-based instructions and references into Markdown that can be copied or downloaded for documentation.
“Move technical examples into coding workflows”
Preserve headings, tables, fenced code blocks, and expandable details when available while extracting technical material from a webpage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert only part of a webpage?
Yes. Highlight the content you need and use Selection mode, or choose “Copy selection as Markdown” from the browser’s right-click menu.
What is the difference between the conversion modes?
Clean page mode removes navigation and other clutter, full page mode keeps useful rendered content in reading order, and Selection mode converts only the text you highlighted.
Is page content sent to StarterBuild, an AI service, or another server?
No. Conversion runs locally in Chrome and does not send page content to StarterBuild or a third party. The extension has no server, AI API, cloud sync, or runtime network requests.
What happens to converted content after I use the extension?
Generated Markdown remains in memory only long enough to copy or download it. Converted page content, HTML, selections, and page URLs are not stored.
