    Copy Selected Links is a free web browser extension that can copy multiple URLs to your clipboard at once. It works by extracting links from text you've selected.

    Click and drag the mouse to select any text that contains at least one link. It's okay if you select other text, too—only the links will be copied.
    • To select all text on a page, hold down the Control (PC) or Command key and press the A key at the same time.

    It looks like a clump of weeds or vegetables. A menu will expand.

    This opens your LinkClump preferences.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/da\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/da\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-9.jpg\/aid12518009-v4-728px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    It's at the bottom of the "Actions" section.
    • LinkClump comes with one action—if you press and hold the Z key as you draw a selection box around some links, it will open all of the links in individual tabs. If you don't want this action, click Delete below it.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e5\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e5\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-10.jpg\/aid12518009-v4-728px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    In the top section, choose which mouse button you want to use to draw the box. Then, select the keyboard key you want to press at the same time to activate LinkClump.
    • For example, if you want to be able to copy all links by holding down the C key as you draw a box with the left mouse button, select Left and C .
    • You can also choose a color for the box you draw by clicking the default color (pink) and selecting an alternative.
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/bd\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-11.jpg\/v4-460px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-11.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/bd\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-11.jpg\/aid12518009-v4-728px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-11.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This is what tells LinkClump to copy the links rather than do something else with them.
    • The "Advanced Options" section has other options that may appeal to you, including the option to skip or include links containing certain words.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/fb\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-12.jpg\/v4-460px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-12.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/fb\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-12.jpg\/aid12518009-v4-728px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-12.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Now that you've saved your key combination, you can start using LinkClump.
  8. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d6\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-13.jpg\/v4-460px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-13.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d6\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-13.jpg\/aid12518009-v4-728px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-13.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Remember to use the key combination you created earlier. As soon as you lift your fingers from the keys/mouse, the links will be copied to your clipboard, ready to paste.
  9. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/39\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-14.jpg\/v4-460px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-14.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/39\/Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-14.jpg\/aid12518009-v4-728px-Copy-Multiple-Links-at-Once-Step-14.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    To paste the copied links, just right-click the typing area where you'd like them to appear and select Paste .
