PageCon

Paste a URL. Get clean Markdown. Stay in your flow.

PageCon is an Obsidian plugin that turns any web page into clean, readable Markdown — right inside your note. No browser switching, no copy-paste mess, no ads or cookie banners cluttering the output.

How it works

1. Put your cursor on a URL (or select one) in any note
2. Hit Ctrl/Cmd + P and pick a command

Command	What happens
Fetch URL → paste as Markdown	Grabs the page and inserts it instantly
Preview URL as Markdown	Shows a preview first — insert when ready

PageCon finds the main article on the page, strips the noise, and pastes formatted Markdown with the page title as a heading.

What gets cleaned up automatically

• Ads and sponsored content
• Cookie consent and GDPR banners
• Newsletter popups and subscribe nag bars
• Social share buttons
• Comment sections
• Page navigation, headers, and footers (when Strip chrome is on)

Privacy & Security

• Nothing leaves your device except a single GET request to the URL you provide — no analytics, no telemetry, no third-party servers
• Scripts are always stripped from fetched pages before any content reaches your note
• Only https:// and http:// URLs are accepted — no local file access
• All settings are stored locally in your vault

---

Known limitations

• JavaScript-heavy pages (SPAs) may return little content — PageCon only processes the static HTML
• Pages behind login or aggressive bot-detection (e.g. Cloudflare) may fail
