> ## Excerpt > The MarkDownload extension allows users to clip websites and download them into a readable markdown file. It is not guaranteed to work seamlessly with all setups, and users have reported various issues and workarounds for integrating it with Obsidian. The integration with Obsidian involves saving web clippings to a preset folder in an Obsidian vault. Users have shared their experiences and workarounds for different operating systems and browsers, including tips for setting up symbolic links and overcoming limitations with URI length. The extension has been reported to work well for many users, but some have encountered difficulties with the Obsidian integration, such as context menu items not showing up. Overall, the extension provides a convenient way to save web clippings in markdown format, but users may need to experiment with different setups to achieve a seamless workflow with Obsidian. --- To use MarkDownload to save web pages to Obsidian, you can follow these general steps based on user experiences and workarounds: 1. **Setup MarkDownload**: Install the MarkDownload extension in your browser. 2. **Adjust MarkDownload Settings**: Configure the MarkDownload settings to save the file to your desired location, such as your Obsidian vault. This may involve setting the "Obsidian Folder" to the exact folder you want to download into, rather than the full path. 3. **Save Web Pages to Obsidian**: Right-click on a page or after selecting text, then select "Markdownload" and choose the "Send tab to Obsidian" option. This should prompt your browser to open Obsidian and save a .md file into your vault. 4. **Check the Location**: Ensure that the web page is saved to the correct location in your Obsidian vault. If it's being saved to your browser's download location instead, consider setting up a symbolic link from the download folder to your desired Obsidian folder. 5. **Optional**: You can further customize the text properties and the body of the markdown files in the MarkDownload extension's Template section. Please note that the integration with Obsidian may vary based on the browser and operating system you are using. Users have reported successful setups on different platforms, but some experimentation and troubleshooting may be required for a seamless workflow. For more detailed guidance and specific configurations, you can refer to the user discussions on the Obsidian forum and other community platforms. These steps are based on user discussions and may require some technical knowledge for setting up symbolic links and adjusting configurations. The effectiveness of the integration may vary depending on individual setups and system configurations.
