About the HTML to Markdown Converter

This tool turns raw HTML into clean, readable Markdown you can paste straight into a README, wiki, blog post, or notes app. It converts headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, links, images, blockquotes, code blocks and nested lists — plus tables, strikethrough and task lists via GitHub-Flavored Markdown. Scripts, styles and other clutter are stripped so you're left with just the content and its structure.

Copy the source of a web page or rich-text email and paste it here to rescue the text as tidy Markdown.

Keep the hash heading style for the widest compatibility across GitHub, notes apps and static-site generators.

Use Download .md to save the result as a file you can commit or import directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert HTML to Markdown? ▼

Markdown is lighter and easier to read and edit than raw HTML. It's the standard format for README files, wikis, blogs, notes apps and static-site generators. Converting lets you lift content out of a web page or rich-text editor and drop it into a Markdown-based system without hand-cleaning a wall of tags.

Does it keep tables, links and images? ▼

Yes. Links become [text](url), images become ![alt](src), and tables, strikethrough and task lists are converted using GitHub-Flavored Markdown so they render correctly on GitHub and most Markdown viewers.

What's the difference between the heading styles? ▼

ATX headings use hash marks — # Title, ## Section — and are the most widely supported. Setext underlines the top two heading levels with = and - instead. ATX is the safe default for GitHub, notes apps and static sites.

Should I use dashes or asterisks for bullets? ▼

Both produce identical results in every Markdown renderer, so it's purely a style choice. Dashes (-) are the most common convention; asterisks (*) are equally valid. Pick whichever your team or editor already uses.

What happens to script tags and messy markup? ▼

Scripts, styles and other non-content markup are dropped, and unknown or empty tags are unwrapped so only the readable text and structure survive. You get tidy Markdown even from bloated, auto-generated HTML.

Is my HTML sent anywhere? ▼

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your HTML never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded to a server.
