Paste any HTML and get clean, readable Markdown instantly. Handles headings, tables, lists, links, images, and code blocks. Runs 100% in your browser.
Markdown has become the universal plain-text format for documentation, README files, blog posts, and content management systems. But much of the web's content lives in HTML. This tool bridges the gap — turning messy HTML into clean, portable Markdown that works everywhere.
This converter handles the full spectrum of common HTML elements: headings (h1 through h6), paragraphs, bold and italic text, inline and block code, hyperlinks, images, ordered and unordered lists (including nested), blockquotes, horizontal rules, line breaks, and full HTML tables converted to Markdown pipe tables.
Writers copying content from web pages into documentation systems like GitBook, Notion, or Confluence will find this tool invaluable. Developers migrating from WordPress or Drupal to static-site generators like Hugo, Jekyll, or Astro often need to convert thousands of HTML posts to Markdown. Technical writers pulling documentation from HTML-based wikis into Git-based docs-as-code workflows can use this to speed up the process enormously.
Markdown is dramatically more readable in its raw form than HTML. A document written in Markdown can be version-controlled in Git cleanly, diffed line by line, and read without rendering. It's also more portable — the same Markdown file can be rendered into HTML, PDF, or EPUB with no modification. For content-heavy teams, Markdown reduces the cognitive overhead of writing, since authors don't have to manage opening and closing tags.
Your HTML content never leaves your device. All conversion is performed locally in the browser using JavaScript. This makes the tool safe to use with sensitive internal documents, proprietary content, or anything you wouldn't want passing through a third-party server.
For best results, ensure your HTML is reasonably well-formed. The converter uses the browser's built-in DOM parser to understand your HTML structure before converting it, which means it can handle most real-world HTML including slightly malformed markup. Very complex nested layouts may not convert perfectly, but semantic content (headings, paragraphs, lists) always converts cleanly.
