# Save - Convert Any Webpage to Clean Markdown

> Save is a Chrome extension that converts any webpage to clean, structured Markdown with one click. It uses AI-powered content extraction to remove ads, navigation, and clutter, producing well-formatted Markdown optimized for note-taking apps (Obsidian, Notion) and AI workflows (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini). Built for developers, writers, researchers, and AI practitioners.

## What Save Does

Save uses AI (Google Gemini) to extract the main content from any webpage and convert it to well-formatted Markdown. Unlike rule-based web clippers, Save uses large language models with 300+ site-specific extraction prompts to produce clean, structured output.

What gets removed:
- Advertisements and tracking scripts
- Navigation menus and sidebars
- Cookie banners and pop-ups
- JavaScript and styling noise
- Duplicate or boilerplate content

What gets preserved:
- Headings, lists, and document structure
- Links and references
- Code blocks with syntax highlighting
- Tables and structured data
- Image alt text and captions

- **Returns**: {"markdown": "...", "meta": {"tier": 1, "cached": false, "domain": "...", "template": "markdown"}, "usage": {"credits": 1}}
- **How it works**: server-side fetch → headless render only if the page is a JS shell → boilerplate stripped → clean Markdown.
