About This Tool

The HTML to Markdown Converter transforms HTML code into clean, readable Markdown syntax. Paste in any HTML content and get well-formatted Markdown output that preserves the original document structure including headings, paragraphs, links, images, lists, bold and italic text, code blocks, blockquotes, and tables.

This tool is invaluable when migrating content from HTML-based platforms to Markdown-based systems like static site generators (Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby), knowledge bases (Notion, Obsidian), or documentation tools (GitBook, Docusaurus). It also helps when you want to convert web page content into a more portable, readable format.

The converter handles complex HTML structures including nested lists, tables with headers, inline code and fenced code blocks, and mixed formatting. It strips unnecessary HTML attributes and tags that have no Markdown equivalent, producing clean output that focuses on the content. Special characters are properly escaped for valid Markdown syntax.

Frequently Asked Questions

The converter handles headings (H1-H6), paragraphs, bold (strong/b), italic (em/i), links (a), images (img), ordered lists (ol/li), unordered lists (ul/li), code blocks (pre/code), blockquotes, horizontal rules, tables, and strikethrough text.
HTML elements without a direct Markdown equivalent (such as div, span, form elements, or custom components) are either stripped to plain text content or preserved as raw HTML, depending on the element type. You can choose to strip all HTML or keep unsupported tags.
You can paste the HTML source of any web page into the tool. For best results, paste only the content area rather than the full page HTML, which includes navigation, scripts, and styles that are not meaningful in Markdown.
Inline CSS styles are stripped during conversion since Markdown does not support styling. The tool focuses on preserving semantic content and structure rather than visual presentation.
