What Save captures from Medium

✓ Article title, subtitle, author, reading-time, publish date
✓ Full article body with headings, pull-quotes, and code blocks
✓ Inline images, captions, and embeds as Markdown references
✓ Tags and publication name

What gets stripped

× Member-paywall overlays ("you have N free stories")
× Clap bar and highlight widgets
× Sidebar author-follow rails and recommended articles

Save uses site-specific AI prompts to tell noise from content. The Markdown you get is optimised for note-taking apps (Obsidian, Notion) and AI context windows (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini).

FAQ — Medium to Markdown

Does Save bypass the Medium paywall?

No. Save only extracts what your browser already shows you. If you're a Medium member logged in, Save extracts the full article; if you're not, it extracts whatever the page displays.
