Export Website/Webapp to Markdown

A userscript that exports the fully rendered text of any webpage to a clean, well-structured Markdown file. Works with Tampermonkey and Violentmonkey.

Features

  • Rich Markdown output - preserves headings (H1–H6), paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, code blocks (with language tags), blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, definition lists, tables, links, and images
  • Visible content only - skips hidden elements, aria-hidden nodes, scripts, styles, iframes, and other non-content tags
  • Absolute URLs - all links and image sources are resolved to absolute URLs so they work outside the original page context
  • Auto-generated filename - slugified from the page title (e.g. website-or-page-title.md)
  • Frontmatter header - each export includes the source URL and export timestamp
  • Floating button - draggable ⬇ MD button fixed to the bottom-right corner of every page
  • Keyboard shortcut - Alt + Shift + M triggers the export from anywhere on the page
  • Menu command - also accessible via the Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey extension menu
  • Toast notification - brief on-screen confirmation when the file is saved

Installation

  1. Install Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey in your browser
  2. Install directly via GreasyFork

Note: Tampermonkey is not open source. Violentmonkey is preferred for that reason :)

Usage

Once installed, three ways to export any page:

Method How
Floating button Click the ⬇ MD button in the bottom-right corner
Keyboard shortcut Press Alt + Shift + M
Extension menu Click the Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey icon → Export page to Markdown

The .md file will download automatically to your default downloads folder.

Output Format

Each exported file begins with a metadata header:

# Page Title

> **Source:** [https://example.com/article](https://example.com/article)
> **Exported:** 2026-04-26 19:00:00 UTC

---

Followed by the full page content converted to Markdown.

Skipped Content

The following are intentionally excluded from output:

  • <script>, <style>, <noscript>, <template>
  • <iframe>, <canvas>, <svg>, <audio>, <video>
  • Form elements: <input>, <textarea>, <select>, <button>
  • Any element with display: none, visibility: hidden, opacity: 0, or aria-hidden="true"
