HTML to Markdown

HTML to Markdown is a conversion tool that transforms raw HTML markup into clean, readable Markdown syntax. Whether you're migrating content from a CMS, extracting documentation from a webpage, or simplifying rich HTML into a lightweight format, this tool handles the transformation instantly — no setup, no dependencies.

Markdown has become the standard for developer documentation, README files, static site generators, and content platforms like Ghost, Notion, and GitHub. Converting HTML to Markdown lets you take content from any web source and repurpose it in a portable, version-control-friendly format that's easy to read and edit as plain text.

Using the tool is straightforward: paste your HTML into the input panel and the Markdown equivalent is generated in real time. The converter handles common HTML elements including headings (<h1>–<h6>), paragraphs, bold and italic text, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, inline code, and fenced code blocks. The output is clean Markdown that you can copy directly into your project.

For best results, paste well-structured HTML. The converter processes semantic tags reliably, but heavily nested or table-heavy HTML may produce simplified output — Markdown's spec has limited native support for complex tables and inline styles, so those elements are either flattened or stripped. Inline CSS and JavaScript are ignored by design, keeping the output focused on content structure.

Edge cases to be aware of: <div> and <span> elements with no semantic meaning are unwrapped rather than converted, embedded SVGs and iframes are dropped, and HTML entities (like & or  ) are decoded to their plain-text equivalents in the Markdown output. Always review the result when converting content with rich formatting or custom HTML structures.
