About HTML to Markdown

The HTML to Markdown converter turns HTML into clean Markdown — ideal for migrating blog posts and CMS content to Markdown-based systems, converting copied web content into notes, or preparing documentation for a Git repository.

It parses the HTML properly (not with fragile find-and-replace) and converts headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, inline code and code blocks. Scripts and styles are dropped, leaving just the content.

How to Use the HTML to Markdown

  1. Paste HTML into the input pane (a fragment or a whole page body).
  2. Read the converted Markdown in the output pane.
  3. Copy it into your Markdown editor, wiki or repository.

Features

  • Real DOM-based parsing, not regex hacks
  • Headings, lists, links, images, quotes and code blocks
  • Strips scripts, styles and other non-content markup
  • Instant, client-side conversion

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to tags that have no Markdown equivalent?

Layout elements like div and span are unwrapped — their text content is kept, the tags are dropped. Scripts and styles are removed entirely.

Can I convert a full webpage?

Yes — paste the page's HTML and the converter extracts the content. For best results, paste just the article or main-content portion rather than headers, navigation and footers.

Is the HTML to Markdown converter free?

Yes, the HTML to Markdown converter is completely free with no usage limits. No signup, no account and no installation required.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript — nothing you type is uploaded or stored on our servers.
