Yoink any webpage into clean, LLM-ready Markdown.
A minimal Chrome/Brave extension that converts any webpage (or selection) to clean Markdown and lets you copy or download it. Built for the LLM-first workflow: clip a webpage, strip the noise, and paste optimized context into Claude, ChatGPT, or your Obsidian vault.
- Three output modes — LLM (strips images, links, and front matter for token efficiency), Obsidian (full YAML front matter), and Raw (clean Markdown)
- Extraction scope — switch between Article (Readability auto-extract), Full Page, or Selection with one click
- Element picker — click any element on the page to extract just that region as Markdown
- Token counter — approximate token count with model context percentage (Claude 200k, GPT-4 128k, Gemini 1M, etc.)
- Strip links toggle — remove URLs from Markdown links to save tokens
- Append to clipboard — accumulate clips from multiple pages with
---separators, then paste all at once - Domain CSS selectors — save custom selectors for repeat-visit sites (docs, MDN, etc.) for precise extraction
- Shadow DOM support — extracts content from Shadow DOM sites (MSN, web components) where other tools fail
- YouTube transcript extraction — pulls video transcripts directly from the page, no API key needed, with configurable timestamp and format options
- Markdown formatting options — heading style, bullet markers, code block style, link style, all configurable in settings
- Export/import domain selectors — back up and share your custom selectors as JSON
- Keyboard shortcuts — configurable hotkeys for quick copy/download
- Dark/light mode — respects system preference
- Zero tracking — no analytics, no telemetry, no external network requests
- Clone or download this repository
- Open Chrome or Brave and go to
chrome://extensions - Enable Developer mode (toggle in the top right)
- Click Load unpacked and select the
mdyoinkfolder - Pin the extension to your toolbar

Optimized for pasting into Claude, ChatGPT, or other LLMs. Strips image references (LLMs can't see them), strips link URLs (keeps link text), removes front matter, and adds a single Source: {url} line at the top. Minimizes token usage while preserving content.
Full YAML front matter with title, URL, and date. Keeps all images and links intact. Ready to drop into your vault.
Clean Markdown conversion with no modifications. Just the Turndown output.
Right-click on any page to access:
- Download/copy page as Markdown
- Download/copy selection as Markdown
- Copy link as
[text](url) - Copy image as
Control what content gets extracted using the scope switcher in the popup:
- Article (default) — uses Readability to auto-extract the main article content, stripping navigation, sidebars, and ads
- Full Page — extracts the entire page body, including headers, footers, and navigation
- Selection — extracts only the text you've highlighted on the page (disabled if nothing is selected)
For precise control over what gets extracted:
- Click the pick button in the popup toolbar
- The popup closes and the page gets a hover overlay
- Move your mouse over elements — they highlight with a purple border and show their CSS selector
- Click an element to extract it — the popup reopens with that element's Markdown
- The picked element's CSS selector is pre-filled in the domain selector panel so you can save it for future visits
- Press Esc or right-click to cancel
For documentation sites where auto-extraction grabs too much (nav bars, sidebars), save a CSS selector per domain:
- Click the target icon in the popup toolbar
- Enter a CSS selector (e.g.,
article,.docs-content,main) - Click Test to verify the match
- Click Save to remember it for that domain
Manage all saved selectors in Settings.
