Spreadsheets demand structure

If you try to paste a list of copied links into Excel or Google Sheets, you lose the context. A URL on its own is often useless without knowing what the link text actually said.

Missing anchor text

When auditing a site for SEO, the anchor text (the clickable words) is just as important as the destination URL. Standard copying loses this data.

Formatting chaos

Pasting rich text into a spreadsheet often results in merged cells, broken rows, and hours of manual cleanup.

What is a CSV? A Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file is a universal format that imports perfectly into Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable, and any database software.

The CSV Export Workflow

To build a spreadsheet, you need an extractor that captures both the link and its context.

Scan the webpage

Run the extension. It will capture every link's URL along with its corresponding anchor text.

Filter out the noise

Use the built-in search to remove navigation links, footers, or external domains so your dataset is clean.
