HTML to Markdown

What is HTML to Markdown conversion?

HTML to Markdown conversion turns headings, paragraphs, emphasis, lists, quotes, links, images, and code blocks into common Markdown syntax. Markdown is useful for documentation, README files, knowledge bases, blogs, and repository notes because it is clear and easy to maintain as plain text. Choose ATX or Setext headings, bullet markers, and whether to keep unsupported HTML.

How to use the HTML to Markdown converter

  1. Paste page source or an HTML snippet and choose heading and list styles.
  2. Convert, then review links, image addresses, heading levels, and code blocks. Keep special tags when needed.
  3. Copy the Markdown or download converted.md, then preview it in the target platform and confirm renderer support.

Key benefits of the converter

  • Common content structures

    Supports headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, emphasis, quotes, separators, and code blocks for article and document snippets.

  • Maintainable plain text

    Markdown is easy to version, review in diffs, edit across platforms, and publish to documentation systems.

  • Preserve resource addresses

    It reads href, src, alt, and title so links, image addresses, and basic descriptions remain available.

  • Browser-side processing

    Conversion runs in the current browser without uploading source to a conversion server. Follow your security policy for sensitive content.

HTML to Markdown FAQ

Can every HTML tag be converted?

Common content tags are converted, but complex layouts, interactive components, and custom elements may have no equivalent syntax. Unknown tags are removed by default; keep them only when the target renderer supports raw HTML.

Should the converted result be checked?

Yes. Markdown platforms differ in support for raw HTML, link titles, nested lists, and code fences. Preview the result in the target editor or renderer before publishing.
