How to extract links from Markdown
To extract links from Markdown, paste your source into the input box. The extractor parses the text and pulls out every link it finds, including inline links, reference-style links, image links, and bare autolinks, then lists them so you can review or reuse the URLs.
Image links are listed separately from normal inline links, so image references do not get mixed into the same output as page links. You can copy the full result as a plain text list or export it as JSON for scripting and further processing.
All parsing happens locally in your browser. Your Markdown is never uploaded to a server, so you can safely inspect links in private docs or unpublished content.

Why link extraction belongs in a docs workflow
A surprising amount of documentation cleanup comes down to link QA. Before publishing, migrating, or diffing a Markdown file, it helps to see exactly which links it contains, so you can spot broken targets, outdated URLs, or links that should be updated.
Pulling links into a structured list also makes batch work easier. You can scan a README for external references, audit a docs page before a site migration, or feed the JSON output into a script that checks each URL for status.
Because images are separated from inline links, you also get a clear view of every asset a page references, which is useful when moving or rehosting media.
