HTML to Markdown Converter
Convert HTML markup into clean Markdown syntax, instantly inside your browser.
Why convert HTML to Markdown?
Content copied from a web page or exported from a rich text editor usually comes out as HTML, but many places — READMEs, static site generators, note-taking apps, and chat platforms — expect Markdown instead. This tool walks the HTML's element tree and converts common tags into their Markdown equivalents.
GuideHow to use it
How the conversion works
The HTML is parsed into a DOM tree using the browser's native parser, then walked recursively — headings become # lines, <strong> and <em> become **bold** and *italic*, links and images become their bracket-and-parenthesis Markdown form, and lists, blockquotes, and code blocks are converted to their Markdown equivalents.
Features & benefits
Why this runs entirely in your browser
Parsing and conversion run in JavaScript locally in the tab, which means it keeps working offline once the page has loaded and nothing pasted here is ever sent to a server.
Common uses
Converting a web page snippet into Markdown for a README, turning a rich text editor's HTML export into Markdown notes, or cleaning up HTML pasted from a webpage before adding it to documentation.
Frequently asked questions
A few things people usually want to know before trusting the numbers.
Headings (h1-h6), bold, italic, inline code, code blocks, links, images, blockquotes, lists, paragraphs, line breaks, and horizontal rules — the most common tags found in everyday content.
Unrecognized tags are unwrapped and their text content is kept, so no content is silently dropped even if the specific tag isn't converted to special Markdown syntax.
Not currently — table markup isn't converted to Markdown table syntax in this version.
Yes, though very large or heavily nested pages may produce Markdown that needs some manual cleanup, since real-world HTML is often messier than hand-written markup.
No. All conversion happens locally in your browser. Nothing pasted here is sent to a server, stored, or shared.
