This tool converts HTML markup into clean, readable Markdown syntax. It is the reverse of a Markdown-to-HTML converter and is useful when you need to extract content from web pages or HTML emails and convert it into Markdown for use in READMEs, documentation, or static site generators.
Convert blog posts or documentation from HTML to Markdown for static site generators like Jekyll, Hugo, or Astro. Extract content from web pages for use in GitHub READMEs. Clean up HTML emails into readable Markdown documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this handle nested HTML structures?
The converter handles common nesting patterns like bold text inside links, code inside paragraphs, and list items with inline formatting. Deeply nested or complex structures may need manual cleanup.
Are HTML entities decoded?
Yes, common HTML entities like &, <, >, ", ', and are decoded back to their original characters in the Markdown output.
What happens to unsupported HTML tags?
Any HTML tags not explicitly supported (like table, form, or div) are stripped, and only their text content is preserved.
Can I convert entire web pages?
You can paste any HTML content. For best results, paste just the content area rather than a full page with scripts and stylesheets, as those non-content elements will be stripped.
Is my data stored anywhere?
No. All conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server.
