Turn this…

into a neat file with clean links…

Things you need:

1. A web browser
2. A webpage from which to extract links
3. An online tool to automatically extract the links
4. A program to open .csv files (Excel/Google Sheets/free alternative, etc.)

Hint: If you only need links from a portion of the page use Firefox.  It allows you select a portion of the page and view only the “selection source” instead of the entire page.

Process

• Navigate to the desired webpage in your favorite browser
• View and copy the page source
  • Chrome: “View page source”
  • Firefox: “View Page Source” or “View Selection Source”
• Paste the copied html into an online tool and click the button to generate a CSV file with the resulting links
• Download, open, & enjoy!

Once the file is open you can do more other things in Excel like sorting by Domain or removing duplicate links.
