About this tool
About this tool
HTML to Markdown transforms HTML tags into equivalent Markdown syntax such as headings, lists, links, and code blocks through parsing inside your browser. Converted Markdown is ready for documentation workflows.
Convert common HTML structures into readable Markdown. Use the full-width workspace to convert content while reviewing headings, links, tables, code blocks, and document structure. The tool accepts Markdown and plain text, provides focused options, and creates Markdown, HTML, and plain text output that you can inspect, copy, download, or save as a local draft.
Built for daily work
- Use HTML to Markdown for documentation, publishing, README files, newsletters, and content export.
- Transform the source format into the selected destination format before content is imported, published, committed, shared, or passed to another application.
- Check a small sample interactively before applying the same operation to a larger Markdown or document content workflow.
- Prepare cleaner Markdown, HTML, and plain text output for teammates, clients, documentation, testing, or downstream automation.

Table conversion from HTML to GFM
HTML tables with thead, tbody, tr, th, and td elements are converted into GitHub-Flavored Markdown table syntax with pipe delimiters.
Link and image attribute extraction
Anchor href attributes become Markdown link destinations, and img src attributes become image sources, with alt text pulled from the alt attribute.
Clean output without HTML remnants
Stray tags, class attributes, inline styles, and script elements are removed rather than left as raw HTML in the Markdown output.
