HTML to Markdown
Paste or upload HTML on the left and get clean, GitHub-style Markdown on the right — with live preview and one-click copy. Everything runs in your browser.
What makes it useful
Instant conversion
Your HTML becomes readable Markdown the moment you paste it — no button, no waiting, no page reload.
Clean GFM output
ATX headings, fenced code blocks, and standard list syntax that matches GitHub Flavored Markdown exactly.
Live preview
Switch between the raw Markdown source and a rendered preview to confirm the result looks exactly right.
One-click copy
Copy the Markdown or the HTML straight to your clipboard, or download a standalone .md file.
Private by design
Conversion happens entirely in your browser — your content never leaves your device. No uploads, no servers.
Handles messy HTML
Missing closing tags, inline styles, and nested markup are normalized into clean, predictable Markdown.
About HTML to Markdown
HTML to Markdown is a fast, free, browser-based converter for turning HTML into clean, readable Markdown. It is built on the same open-source engine used by popular documentation tools, so headings become ATX headings, code blocks become fenced blocks, and links, lists, and tables are preserved exactly as you would write them by hand. Because every conversion happens locally in your browser, your content is never uploaded or stored. It is ideal for migrating blog posts, cleaning up exported web content, writing documentation, or moving a page into a Markdown-based CMS.
How to convert HTML to Markdown
Converting HTML to Markdown takes three simple steps:
Paste your HTML
Paste HTML into the input pane on the left, or click Upload .html to load a file from your device. A sample document is pre-loaded to get you started.
Review the Markdown
The Markdown output updates live as you type. Use the Markdown / Preview toggle to inspect the source or see the rendered result.
Copy or download
Copy the Markdown to your clipboard for pasting into a page or editor, or download a standalone .md file.
Good to know
Inline styles, comments, and empty tags are removed during conversion, so only the meaningful content survives. Complex interactive widgets and embedded scripts are dropped. For the cleanest result, convert a single page's article or body content rather than an entire layout.
