What does this tool do?
The HTML to Markdown Converter turns raw HTML into clean, readable Markdown. It maps headings, links, lists, bold/italic text and code blocks to the correct Markdown syntax. All conversion happens in your browser, so your code is never sent to a server.
How to use it
- Paste or type your data into the left field.
- The result is generated instantly on the right.
- Use the Copy button to grab the output.
How it works
The tool parses your HTML tags and translates each one to its Markdown equivalent: an <h1> becomes #, <strong> becomes double asterisks, and <a href> becomes bracketed link syntax. Lists from <ul> and <ol> are rebuilt as dashes and numbers, while <pre><code> blocks are wrapped in triple backticks. Redundant inline styles and script tags are stripped out.
Common use cases
Reducing HTML copied from WYSIWYG editors or a CMS into clean Markdown for READMEs and documentation. It is ideal for moving web page content into a blog post, simplifying email templates, or migrating legacy HTML notes into a Markdown-based wiki.
Frequently asked questions
Are nested lists and tables preserved?
Yes, nested <ul>/<ol> lists keep their indentation and HTML tables are converted to Markdown pipe (|) syntax; however, very complex merged cells may be simplified since Markdown has no exact equivalent.
What happens to HTML tags with no Markdown equivalent?
Tags like <div> or <span> that have no Markdown counterpart are removed, and only their inner text is kept so the output stays clean.
