DownMark for macOS: Capture Web Pages as Markdown

Installation and Launch

DownMark converts web pages into clean Markdown files using a browser extension. After installation, enable it in Safari:

Safari > Settings > Extensions > Enable DownMark

Once enabled, click the DownMark icon in the Safari toolbar, or press ⌘ + Shift + M to capture the current page.

DownMark detects the main article content, removes ads and navigation, preserves headings, links, lists, and code blocks, and saves a .md file alongside a local images/ folder.

The keyboard shortcut can be changed in System Settings > Extensions > Safari Extensions > DownMark.

Chrome Extension

DownMark is also available as a Chrome extension. It works alongside the DownMark app to save pages as Markdown files. Use it when Chrome is your primary browser or when certain pages work better in Chrome.

Download from Chrome Web Store

Markdown Output

A typical save creates:

Article Title.md

images/
 ├── image-1.png
 ├── image-2.png
 └── image-3.png

Images on the page are downloaded locally and saved to an images/ folder alongside the Markdown file, making the content fully portable and accessible offline.

You can optionally wrap everything in a folder named after the article title:

Article Title/
 ├── Article Title.md
 └── images/
      ├── image-1.png
      └── image-2.png

The output preserves the original structure — headings, paragraphs, links, lists, and code blocks. Standard Markdown files work with any editor, note-taking app, or AI assistant for summarisation and analysis.

You can configure whether to use a folder wrapper and other output preferences in DownMark > Settings.
