Free online HTML to Markdown converter

This HTML to Markdown converter turns raw HTML into clean, readable Markdown right in your browser.

How to convert HTML to Markdown

  1. Type or paste your HTML into the input box on the left.

  3. Click Copy Markdown to grab the result, or Clear to start over.
  4. Paste the Markdown into your editor, docs, or repository.

Why convert HTML to Markdown?

HTML is verbose and full of tags, while Markdown is compact and pleasant to write and read. Converting lets you take content that only exists as markup and store it in the lightweight format used by GitHub, static site generators, and note apps. Need to go back the other way? Use the Markdown to HTML converter. And if you need to escape angle brackets or ampersands for safe embedding, the HTML entity encoder handles that.

Private and browser-based

Every conversion runs locally with the Turndown library — there are no network requests and nothing you paste ever leaves your device. That makes it a safe, instant way to convert private pages and internal documentation to Markdown for free, with no sign-up and no limits.

Frequently asked questions

What does the HTML to Markdown converter do?

It turns HTML markup into clean, readable Markdown right in your browser. Paste HTML on the left and the tool converts it live, mapping headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, links, lists, and code blocks to their Markdown equivalents so you can copy the result into a README, a docs file, or a Markdown editor.

Which HTML elements are supported?

The converter handles the common structural and inline elements: headings (h1–h6), paragraphs, bold and italic text, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, blockquotes, inline code, and fenced code blocks. It uses the popular Turndown library under the hood, with ATX-style headings and fenced code blocks.

Is my HTML sent to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you paste is uploaded, stored, or logged, so it is safe to convert private pages, internal documentation, and drafts.

Why is some of my HTML missing from the Markdown?

Markdown is a simpler format than HTML, so elements that have no Markdown equivalent — such as complex tables, custom attributes, styling, or scripts — are simplified or dropped. The converter keeps the text content and the structure that Markdown can represent.

Can I go the other way, from Markdown to HTML?

Yes. Use our Markdown to HTML converter to turn Markdown back into HTML with a live preview. The two tools pair well when you are moving content between formats.
