How to use the HTML to Markdown
What this converts
This tool handles common HTML elements: headings (h1–h6), paragraphs, bold (<strong>, <b>), italic (<em>, <i>), links (<a>), unordered and ordered lists, inline code, code blocks, blockquotes, horizontal rules and images. Tables and complex inline styles are simplified.
Why convert HTML to Markdown?
Markdown is easier to write and edit than HTML, and it's the standard for static-site generators (Jekyll, Hugo, Next.js MDX), GitHub README files, Reddit posts and many CMS platforms. Converting old HTML content to Markdown makes it portable and maintainable.
Frequently asked questions
Which HTML elements are converted to Markdown?
Headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold and italic text, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes and code blocks are converted. Elements with no Markdown equivalent, such as forms or complex layouts, are reduced to their text content.
Is the conversion lossless?
Not always. Markdown is a simpler format than HTML, so attributes such as classes, inline styles and IDs are dropped. Always review the output if you need exact formatting preserved.
Is my HTML uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so the HTML you paste is not sent to a server or stored.
