● Frequently asked questions
What Tab2Prompt reads, makes, and leaves alone.
These answers describe the first version of Tab2Prompt: a local Chrome extension for preparing webpage context before you take it to an AI.
Does Tab2Prompt use an AI model?
No. Tab2Prompt converts webpage content into Markdown and assembles a prompt locally. It does not send the page to an AI API or make a model call.
Does Tab2Prompt send my webpage content anywhere?
Conversion and prompt-building happen inside Chrome on your device. Tab2Prompt sends the generated prompt, including page content and URL, only when you explicitly choose an AI provider. Otherwise it stays on your device.
What can I convert?
Choose Article for reading-focused pages, Page for a whole webpage, or Selection for the content you highlighted. The available result depends on how the page is structured.
What does Tab2Prompt preserve in Markdown?
Tab2Prompt aims to preserve the source URL, title, links, images, code blocks, and tables. Webpages vary, so some complex or dynamically rendered content may not convert perfectly.
Which pages are unsupported in version one?
PDFs, Google Docs, Notion, and Chrome internal pages are intentionally unsupported in version one.
Does Tab2Prompt modify the webpage?
No. Article extraction works from a cloned document, and the extension does not rewrite or inject visible UI into the page you are converting.
Can Tab2Prompt open an AI tool and paste the prompt for me?
No. It presents the generated prompt in a read-only field and copies it only after your action. You choose the destination and paste it yourself.
Why does Tab2Prompt need access to the active tab?
The active-tab permission lets Tab2Prompt read the page you explicitly chose to convert. It does not grant always-on access to every site you visit.
