Turn web content into Markdown notes with sources.

Export headings, text, lists and supported tables to Markdown, keeping the source URL and retrieval time. Choose one file or a note per page, then use it yourself in an editor or an AI tool of your choice. Free covers one page; collecting several pages is Pro.

Free: one page per run. Nothing is sent to an AI automatically; you decide where to paste it.

Two ways to reuse the saved text

Read and annotate

Use one Markdown file for a compact reference. Add your own comments while retaining the source information.

Organize page notes

Use per-page Markdown to group sources by topic and link them from your own research or writing notes.

Best for

  • ✓Build source-linked research notes from related articles.
  • ✓Keep reference text beside your writing or manual notes.
  • ✓Prepare selected Markdown files for questions in an external AI tool.

Workflow

  1. 1Open a page you are allowed to save and start “Combine pages into HTML”. Review related candidates and choose needed pages. Free saves one chosen page as HTML; Pro combines multiple selected page bodies.
  2. 2Before collecting, enable “AI analysis data (Markdown with sources)”. Choose “One Markdown file”, “Per-page Markdown” or “Full package” to suit a reading file, separate notes or structured reuse.
  3. 3Collect and review the result. Compare headings, links and important text with the source and check any failures. Save the HTML too if you want its table of contents and search.
  4. 4Use “Save AI analysis ZIP”, extract the ZIP and open the Markdown files in a compatible editor. Keep source_url and captured_at with your notes; add your own topic labels and date checked.
  5. 5Copy or import supported files manually into your notes workflow. For external AI, choose suitable files and use “Copy AI request text” with your question. Check conclusions against the supplied text and current source.

FAQ

Does it sync with Obsidian or Notion?

Export files first, then manually copy or import them using the destination’s supported method. Check headings, tables and links after import. The extension does not automatically sync a vault or workspace, and import support varies.

Are images and interactive content preserved?

Markdown can reference images using their original URLs; image files are not always included in the package. Extraction is not a complete site clone. Review important images and content that depends on interaction at the original page.

Does the 25 MB setting limit the entire package?

The default 25 MB is a splitting target for Markdown text. It does not guarantee the total ZIP size or acceptance by another tool. Extract the ZIP and select or split the files to match the destination’s limits.

What happens to linked PDFs and Word files?

Successfully extracted text from selected supported documents can enter AI output. Keep needed originals separately and review unreadable or missing text; scanned material is not guaranteed to be extracted. Document text is not merged into the readable HTML.

Does exporting send the material to AI?

No. Export prepares files on your device. You choose an external service and manually provide supported files and your question. Keep source_url and captured_at when checking answers; a capture date does not prove that the source is still current.

Can I use this for free?

Yes. Free saves one chosen page per run. Images on that page have no plan limit, and its directly linked files are saved 10 at a time with “Save the next 10” on the result screen. Pro ($19.99 one-time, up to 3 devices) combines multiple selected pages into one HTML.

What if a page needs me to sign in?

Collection uses your own browser session and does not collect credentials. If a page is marked “Sign-in needed”, press “Open the site to sign in”, sign in in that tab, then press “Resume”. Pages that still need a sign-in are not saved, and the result says how many were left out.

Why is some text missing from the saved page?

Some sites add text only after you scroll or click. Open “If a page is missing text: content and JavaScript settings”, turn on “Scroll down to load content that appears later” or “Press ‘Show more’ to include the continuation”, and collect again. If the wrong part of the page was kept, use “Select on screen” there to pick the main text.
