HTML to Markdown Converter

This HTML to Markdown converter turns HTML, or content copied from a web page, into clean GitHub-flavoured Markdown, including tables, nested lists, task lists, links, images and code blocks.

Markdown (GitHub style)

Scripts, styles and layout code are removed. To convert a live web page, open it, select the content, copy it and use "Paste copied page".

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent or stored.

How to use HTML to Markdown

  1. Paste HTML into the left box, open an .html file, or copy part of a web page and click "Paste copied page".

  2. The Markdown appears on the right as you type.

  3. Click "Copy" or "Download .md".

When to use HTML to Markdown

  • Moving a blog. Convert WordPress or Blogger posts to Markdown for Hugo, Jekyll or Astro.
  • Docs and READMEs. Turn HTML documentation into Markdown for GitHub.
  • Notes apps. Save web articles in Obsidian or Notion as Markdown.

Limits and privacy

  • Scripts, styles and page layout code are removed; only the content is kept.
  • Converting from a web address is not possible in a browser for most sites, so copy the content from the page instead.
  • Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent or stored.

Frequently asked questions

Does it convert tables?

Yes. HTML tables become GitHub-flavoured Markdown tables with a header row, and column alignment from align or text-align is kept. Cells that span several columns are padded with empty cells so the table stays valid. Very complex tables with merged rows are simplified.

Can I convert a web page?

Yes, by copying it. Open the page, select the content you want, copy it (Ctrl+C), then click "Paste copied page" here. The formatting you copied is converted to Markdown. Fetching a page by its URL is not offered because browsers block that for most websites.

Is my HTML sent anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your browser as you type or paste. Scripts and styles in the HTML are removed and never run, and nothing you paste or open is sent to a server or saved.
