Why This Is the Best HTML to Markdown Converter

Full Element Coverage

Converts all common HTML elements: h1–h6, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, horizontal rules, and tables with alignment.

Live Markdown Preview

Switch to Preview mode to instantly render the generated Markdown as formatted output — headings, styled text, tables, code blocks, and more — without leaving the tool.

Clean Output

Output is cleaned of extra blank lines, preserves intentional spacing, and correctly handles HTML entities (converting &, <, > and numeric entities back to their characters).

Privacy First

All conversion runs entirely in your browser using the DOM parser — no HTML is ever uploaded to a server. Safe for internal documentation, confidential content, and proprietary templates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain text formatting to represent styled documents. It is widely used in README files, documentation, static site generators, CMS platforms, and note-taking apps like Obsidian and Notion.

Why convert HTML to Markdown?

Markdown is easier to write, read, and maintain than HTML. Common reasons to convert include migrating content to Markdown-based CMS or static site generators (Hugo, Jekyll, Docusaurus), importing web content into note-taking apps, or simplifying HTML documentation.

What HTML elements are converted to Markdown?

This converter handles: headings (h1–h6), paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, code blocks (pre/code), blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, horizontal rules, and tables. Unsupported elements have their inner text preserved.

Can Markdown represent everything HTML can?

No. Markdown cannot represent complex layouts, custom CSS classes, forms, scripts, or most HTML attributes beyond href and src. For these elements the converter extracts text content. If you need the full HTML structure preserved, use the HTML Formatter instead.
