What this tool does

Markdown Link Extractor turns a Markdown file into a link inventory for documentation reviews, migration planning, SEO checks, broken-link audits, and content cleanup. Upload a .md file or paste Markdown, then export a CSV with link kind, text, URL, and line number. It handles inline links, images, reference-style links even when the definition appears later, and bare HTTP URLs. The tool is useful before publishing long docs, migrating a blog, checking asset references, or handing a content file to another team.

How Markdown Link Extractor fits into your work

Use it before upload, handoff, archive, support review, or any moment where a file needs one local check before it leaves your machine.

File jobs

  • Checking file type, size, metadata, and obvious mismatch signals before sharing.
  • Preparing mixed folders for upload, archive, intake, or review.
  • Keeping sensitive files in the browser instead of sending them to an account-based service.

File checks

  • Do not treat the extension alone as proof of the real file type.
  • Review metadata before a file goes to customers, vendors, or a public page.
  • Keep the original file until the copied, converted, or exported result is verified.

Real-world use cases

  • Audit documentation links

    Extract all URLs from a Markdown doc before a release or migration.

  • Inventory image references

    Pull image URLs and alt text into CSV for asset cleanup.

Common pitfalls

  • Extraction is not link checking; it does not make network requests.

  • Complex Markdown embedded inside HTML may need an HTML pass too.

Privacy

Markdown parsing is local. The resulting CSV may expose private internal URLs.
