HTML to Markdown Converter Online
Convert HTML snippets into Markdown with browser-side processing. Use it for docs cleanup, CMS exports, article drafts, README prep, and static site publishing.
Try a common HTML snippet
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.
Article snippets
Paste headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes, code, and images.
CMS exports
Use it for small HTML sections before editing Markdown manually.
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.
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.
Docs migration
Move simple HTML help content into Markdown-based docs.
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
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.
Converting full app pages
Navigation, scripts, widgets, and CSS layouts do not become useful Markdown. Use semantic article snippets instead.
Expecting exact table output
Complex tables often need manual cleanup after conversion, especially merged cells or nested content.
Losing embedded behavior
Markdown can keep text, links, and simple images, but not JavaScript interactions, forms, or custom components.
How is HTML processed?
Conversion is handled in the browser for this tool based on the current public implementation.
Can it convert links?
Yes. Anchor tags become Markdown links when href values are present.
Can it convert tables?
This version focuses on common article tags. Complex tables may need manual formatting.
Can I preview the result?
Copy the output into Markdown Preview to inspect the rendered version.
