Markdown link extractor
Extract every link from a Markdown document in seconds. Paste any Markdown text — whether it is a README file, a blog post, or a documentation page — and this tool pulls out all the [text](url) links and lists them in your choice of format. Everything runs in your browser, so your content stays private and local.
Markdown links have a simple syntax: square brackets around the display text, followed by the URL in parentheses. This tool recognizes that pattern and extracts the components you need. Choose your output format: URLs only to get a clean list of all web addresses, link text only to see the display labels, or both together in a "text - url" format that shows the full context. Each link appears on its own line.
This is handy when you need to audit the references in a document, gather links for a sitemap, find broken URLs in bulk, or collect resources from documentation. Copy the result, download it as a plain text file, or send it to another tool for further processing. The live tally shows how many links were extracted.
FAQ
What Markdown link syntax does it recognize?
It finds the standard Markdown link syntax: [link text](https://example.com). It ignores HTML links, reference-style links, and plain URLs.
What if a link has extra parameters, like a title?
Links can include optional titles in quotes, like [text](url "title"). The tool extracts the URL and text correctly and ignores the title part.
Can I use this on very large Markdown files?
Yes. The tool handles files with thousands of links in seconds. It works entirely in your browser without uploading anything.
Why would I need to extract links from Markdown?
Common uses are auditing documentation, gathering references, finding broken links in bulk, creating link lists, or checking for duplicate URLs across multiple documents.
Is my content uploaded anywhere?
No. The extraction runs entirely in your browser and your Markdown stays on your device.
