Save the journal article you're reading as clean Markdown: math, tables, figure captions and references intact, images in a ZIP. Save the journal article you're reading as clean Markdown in one click, ready for your notes app, reference manager or AI assistant. Where it works Article pages on PubMed Central, PubMed and several major open-access publishers. The full list of sites is on the project homepage. What it does • Structured full text first: for open-access articles it uses the structured full text (JATS XML) made available by the publisher or archive, and converts the current page when that isn't available. • Complete content: title, authors, abstract, sections, math ($…$ / $$…$$), tables, figure captions and reference footnotes; data availability, funding and competing interests each get their own section. • Metadata: YAML front matter with title, authors, journal, year, DOI, PMID, PMCID and license. • Download as ZIP: article.md + images/, with image links rewritten to the bundled files. • Filename template: name files with {title}, {year}, {journal}, {doi} and more. • PDF parsing (optional): when the page has no usable full text, parse the article PDF with your own OCR service key. • Four ways in: the M↓ button on article pages, the toolbar popup, the right-click menu, and Alt+Shift+J. • English and Chinese interface; follows your light or dark theme. How to use 1. Open an article on a supported site. 2. Click the M↓ button in the corner, or click the toolbar icon and choose Export Markdown. 3. Choose Download ZIP to keep the images too. Privacy • No servers of our own, no data collection, no analytics. • Opening the popup or loading a page sends nothing. Only when you export does the extension ask a public open-access archive (Europe PMC) for the full text, sending just the PMCID or DOI — never cookies or the page address. • PDF parsing happens only after you add a key and click Parse, and goes only to the provider you chose. Keys stay in this browser. • Only pages you can already read are converted: no paywall bypassing, no bulk scraping. Also in the series • arXiv to Markdown — save arXiv papers as Markdown. • Zhihu to Markdown — save Zhihu content as Markdown. Requires Chrome 121 or later.
