Convert document-style HTML into Markdown
Use this converter for content migrations, documentation cleanup, README drafts, support articles, and CMS exports where the final result should be readable Markdown.
Lossy conversion limits
Markdown cannot represent forms, scripts, iframes, custom component behavior, CSS, layout containers, event handlers, or many complex table structures.
Markdown output options
Choose ATX or Setext headings, dash, asterisk, or plus bullets, backtick or tilde code fences, inline or reference links, and line-break preservation.
HTML to Markdown vs Markdown Previewer
This tool starts with HTML source and produces Markdown text. Markdown Previewer starts with Markdown and renders sanitized HTML for visual review.
HTML to Markdown vs HTML Formatter
HTML Formatter keeps HTML and improves indentation. HTML to Markdown changes formats, so unsupported HTML features may be removed or flattened.
Review after conversion
Check headings, lists, table alignment, image paths, relative links, and warning messages before publishing the generated Markdown.
HTML to Markdown FAQ
Does this converter upload my HTML?
No. Conversion, warnings, copy actions, and downloads run locally in your browser.
Does it render or execute HTML?
No. Input HTML is parsed as inert text for conversion. Scripts, stylesheets, iframes, images, and links are not fetched or executed.
Can it convert tables?
Simple tables can become GitHub-style Markdown tables. Nested tables, row spans, and column spans may lose structure and trigger warnings.
What happens to scripts and styles?
Scripts and styles are removed or ignored by default because Markdown cannot represent executable code or CSS styling safely.
Why do custom elements trigger warnings?
Custom elements may contain framework behavior or styling that Markdown cannot preserve, so their text content is converted while component behavior is lost.
Can I use the output in a README?
Yes. Copy or download the Markdown, then review links, images, tables, and warnings for the Markdown renderer used by your repository or documentation site.
