Quick Answer
An HTML to Markdown converter reads markup and writes it back as lightweight Markdown — useful when you are moving content out of a CMS or a rich-text editor and into a plain-text workflow. This one handles headings, lists, links, code blocks and images.
What This Tool Does
Paste HTML and the converter walks the document, mapping each element to its Markdown equivalent: h1–h4 to #, lists to - or 1., pre to fenced code blocks, links to [text](url), images to . Text content is extracted cleanly.
Key Features
- DOM-based — real parsing, not string surgery.
- Lists, links, code — the constructs that matter convert cleanly.
- Readable output — blank lines between blocks, no leftover tags.
- Copy or download the Markdown.
How to Use the HTML to Markdown Converter
- Paste HTML into the input box (or load the Sample).
- Read the Markdown on the right.
- Copy it into your editor or download the file.
Use Cases
- Exporting a blog post or CMS page into a Git-based Markdown workflow.
- Moving rich-text content into a README or documentation file.
- Cleaning copied web content into plain readable notes.
Tips
- Tables and complex layouts degrade to their text content — Markdown tables are out of scope for this tool.
- Nested lists indent with spaces, matching most Markdown renderers.
Privacy
The conversion is local — your HTML never leaves the browser.
Conclusion
Move content from markup to Markdown without the tag soup. Free, fast, private.
