Home / Tools / Link List Formatter
Bookmark & URL Utilities
Paste URLs or titled links and reformat them into clean Markdown, HTML, CSV, plain text, or your own template.
Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
How it works
- Paste plain URLs, URL | Title lines, Markdown links, or HTML anchors.
- The formatter detects the link shape and keeps titles when they are present.
- Choose Markdown, HTML, CSV, plain URLs, or a reusable custom template.
- Copy or download the result locally; no network calls are made to fetch page titles.
Format copied tab URLs for docs, tickets, and notes
A raw tab dump is rarely the format you actually need. Developers may want Markdown bullets for a GitHub issue, researchers may want CSV for a spreadsheet, and writers may need HTML anchors. This formatter turns the same pasted list into whichever output fits the next step.
When titles are included, the tool preserves them. When titles are missing, it uses the hostname and path so the output is still readable. It deliberately does not fetch page titles from the web. That privacy tradeoff keeps the page fast, local, and predictable, especially for private intranet or client URLs.
The custom template is the repeat-user path. Save a pattern once, such as {title}: {url} or <li><a href="{url}">{title}</a></li>, and the browser remembers it for the next tab dump.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I copy all my open tab URLs first?
A browser-only trick is to bookmark the tabs with Ctrl+Shift+D, open Bookmark Manager, then copy or export that temporary folder. A dedicated tab manager or URL-copy extension is faster if you do this often. TabGroup Vault can export saved groups as Markdown or text after you snapshot them.
Can it fetch page titles?
No. Fetching page titles would require network requests to every URL, which is slower and less private. Paste URL | Title pairs when you already have titles, otherwise the formatter uses the URL hostname and path.
What placeholders exist?
Custom templates support {url}, {title}, and {domain}. Each input link becomes one output line, so a template such as - {title}: {url} creates a simple bullet list.
Where is my custom template stored?
The template is saved in your browser for this site. It is not uploaded, synced through TabGroup Vault, or shared with any server.
