Why Convert HTML to Markdown?

While HTML is the language of the web, its verbosity can make it difficult to read and edit. Converting HTML to Markdown is a common need for simplifying content, improving readability, and migrating data. Here are the key benefits:

  • Content Migration: Easily move content from an old website or a WYSIWYG editor into a modern, Markdown-based system like a static site generator (Jekyll, Hugo) or a headless CMS.
  • Improved Readability & Editing: Markdown’s clean syntax is far easier for humans to read and edit than raw HTML. This speeds up content updates and reduces the chance of errors.
  • Documentation & Notes: Developers and technical writers can convert existing HTML documentation into Markdown to be stored and version-controlled in platforms like GitHub or GitLab.
  • Cleaning Up Code: Automatically strip away messy, inline styles and unnecessary tags often generated by older content editors, leaving you with clean, semantic content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this HTML to Markdown converter free?

Yes, this tool is 100% free to use. There are no ads, usage limits, or premium-only features. It’s a free utility for the community.

Is my HTML code safe when I use this tool?

Absolutely. Your privacy is guaranteed. The entire conversion process runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. No data is ever transmitted to or stored on our servers.

How accurate is the conversion?

Our tool uses the popular and well-tested `turndown.js` library, which is highly accurate for converting standard semantic HTML into Markdown. It correctly handles headings, lists, links, images, tables (with GFM), code blocks, and more.

Can it handle HTML tables?

Yes. The converter is configured to use GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), which includes support for tables. Your `

`, ``, `
`, and `` tags will be converted into the corresponding pipe-based Markdown table syntax.

What happens to HTML tags that have no Markdown equivalent?

Tags that have no direct equivalent in Markdown (like `` or `` with no special formatting) are typically stripped away to keep the output clean. The text content inside them is preserved.

Does the tool convert inline CSS styles?

No, the tool focuses on converting HTML structure to Markdown syntax. Inline CSS (e.g., `

`) is ignored, which is usually the desired behavior as it helps clean the content of presentational styling.

Can I convert a full HTML file, including `` and ``?

Yes, you can paste an entire HTML document. The converter will process the content within the `` tag and ignore the `` section, focusing only on the visible content.

Does this tool work offline?

You need an internet connection to load the page initially. Once the page and its scripts have loaded, the conversion functionality will work completely offline.

Are there any limits on the amount of HTML I can convert?

There are no artificial limits imposed by the tool. Performance depends on the processing power of your device and the complexity of the HTML, but it can handle very large documents with ease.

Which Markdown flavor is used for the output?

The tool defaults to GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), which is the most popular and feature-rich standard. This includes features like tables, strikethrough, and task lists.
