What is Extract Links?

Collects all links from pasted content: bare URLs in plain text, href and src attributes in HTML, link targets in Markdown and mailto: addresses. The list keeps the order in which links appear and can be de-duplicated.

How to use Extract Links

Paste text, HTML source or Markdown into the Input box.
Keep Remove duplicates on for a unique list.
Tick Include relative links to also list paths like /page or image.png from HTML and Markdown.
Copy or download the list of links.

Example

Input

<a href="https://a.com/x?a=1&amp;b=2">A</a> [md](https://b.com) see http://c.com.

Output

https://a.com/x?a=1&b=2
https://b.com
http://c.com

When to use Extract Links

Use it to audit links in an article or e-mail, collect sources from notes, or check which resources a page references. It works on text you paste – it does not crawl websites or check whether links are alive.

How Extract Links works

Three passes find links: href= and src= attribute values (quoted or unquoted, HTML entities like & decoded), Markdown link targets ](url "title"), and bare URLs starting with http://, https://, ftp:// or www. plus mailto: links in the remaining text. javascript: and data: URLs are skipped. Trailing punctuation and unmatched closing brackets are removed from bare URLs. Results are ordered by their position in the input; relative paths are only included when the option is on.

Common Use Cases

Listing all links in a newsletter before sending
Collecting reference URLs from research notes
Getting image and script sources from HTML
Pulling links out of a Markdown README

FAQs

Does it check whether the links work?

No. It only extracts them; nothing is requested from the network.

Why are some links missing?

Bare links need a scheme (http://, https://, ftp://) or a www. prefix. Relative paths only appear when Include relative links is on and they are in an href/src attribute or a Markdown link.
