Kliplet
How to clip web pages to Markdown
To clip a web page to Markdown well, you want the readable article (not the page chrome), sensible frontmatter, and no detour through an account or server for the destination write. Kliplet extracts the article, converts it to clean Markdown with templated frontmatter, and writes a .md file to your Downloads folder on your device. Screenshot mode instead captures the visible tab as a PNG. Optional AI remains a separate opt-in request. If you would rather the Markdown land in an app, the same text clip can go straight into Notion, Obsidian, Logseq, Joplin, Anytype or Bear on macOS instead.
Set up the Markdown target
- Install Kliplet from kliplet.com and open Options → Targets.
- Add the Markdown target — no account or token needed.
- Optionally set a frontmatter template (title, source URL, tags, date).
Clip a page
- Open the page and optionally select text if you want a selection clip.
- Trigger Kliplet, pick Markdown, and choose simplified article, full page, selection, URL-only, or visible-tab Screenshot.
- The four text modes write a clean .md file; Screenshot writes the visible tab as a PNG. It is not a full-page or region screenshot and is not kept in clip history or replayed.
Why it stays clean
Kliplet extracts the readable article body before converting, so you get the content without ads, nav and clutter. The frontmatter template makes every Markdown file fit your vault or static-site pipeline.
Local highlights are separate
Alt+H stores a page highlight locally and reapplies it on revisit; it is not automatically added to the Markdown file. A paid user can include page highlights only by explicitly creating a custom template with {{highlights}}.
Local destination write
Chrome writes the file to your computer and the Kliplet extension ships no usage analytics. If you enable AI, up to 12,000 characters of extracted clip text are separately sent to your chosen provider. Without AI, the Markdown flow uploads nothing.
FAQ
Do I need an account to clip to Markdown?
No. Kliplet's Markdown target writes a .md file to your Downloads folder using Chrome's downloads permission, with no account or token. If you enable AI, up to 12,000 characters of extracted clip text are separately sent to your chosen provider.
Can I control the frontmatter?
Yes. A template sets the title, source URL, tags and date so each Markdown file matches your vault or static-site setup.
Will the Markdown be clean?
Yes. Kliplet extracts the readable article body first, so the output is the content without page chrome, ads or navigation.
Can I send the same clip into an app instead of a file?
Yes. Pick Notion, Obsidian, Logseq, Joplin, Anytype or Bear as the target — Kliplet supports all seven from one extension.
What does Kliplet cost?
Free supports unlimited clips to one selected destination per action; Pro and Lifetime add simultaneous multi-target clipping. Install from kliplet.com and see the official site or Store listing for current pricing and terms.
