Quick answer

An HTML to Markdown converter rewrites common HTML tags as Markdown syntax.

It is useful when content needs to move from a webpage, CMS, or rich text export into docs or README files.

Best inputs

Article snippets

Paste headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes, code, and images.

CMS exports

Use it for small HTML sections before editing Markdown manually.

Conversion method
The converter parses HTML in the browser and maps common tags to Markdown.

Headings become # syntax, links become inline Markdown links, and unordered or ordered lists become Markdown list items.

Nested layout markup, custom components, scripts, styles, and complex tables may need manual cleanup after conversion.

Markdown workflow fit

Use this before Markdown Preview when you want to convert pasted HTML and then inspect the rendered Markdown result.

For HTML escaping only, use HTML Entity Encoder and Decoder instead.

Common use cases
These are the jobs people usually mean when they search for an HTML to Markdown converter.

Docs migration

README cleanup

Convert HTML snippets into Markdown before adding them to README files.

CMS copy cleanup

Clean pasted rich text exports before editing them in Markdown.

Static site prep

Prepare snippets for Markdown-driven static site generators.

Example, assumptions, and limitations
HTML to Markdown works best on semantic content rather than full application pages.

Example

A heading, paragraph, link, and bullet list become compact Markdown text.

Assumption

The input is a snippet of valid or browser-parseable HTML.

Limitation

Advanced tables, custom widgets, embedded scripts, and CSS layouts are not preserved as rich Markdown.
