Clip articles into Obsidian as Markdown

June 8, 2026

If your knowledge base lives in Markdown, the last thing you want is to paste a web page and spend ten minutes fixing headings, links, and stray formatting. Offprint exports the article as clean Markdown so it lands ready to use.

Export a page as Markdown

1. Open the article in Safari and tap Offprint from the page menu.
2. Choose Reader mode to strip ads and navigation, keeping the text, links, and image references.
3. Pick Markdown.

The result is a plain-text file with real headings, lists, blockquotes, and links — the structure of the article preserved as Markdown syntax.

Drop it into your notes app

From the share sheet, send the file to:

• Obsidian — save it into your vault folder via Files, or open-in Obsidian.
• Notion — import the Markdown file into any page.
• Bear, iA Writer, or any editor that reads .md.

Build a library you own

Clipping to Markdown means your reading lives in plain text you control — no proprietary format, no account, and nothing uploaded. It’s the same approach that makes Markdown notes portable in the first place.
