HTML to Markdown

Convert HTML markup into Markdown. Runs entirely in your browser using the native DOM parser.

Paste HTML markup and get clean Markdown back, using the browser's native DOM parser to walk the document structure. Useful for pulling a web page or CMS export into a Markdown-based wiki, README, or static site generator without hand-rewriting every heading and link. Headings, bold/italic, links, lists, and blockquotes convert directly; more complex layout markup is simplified to plain text since Markdown has no equivalent syntax.

Runs in your browser // nothing is uploaded

Common questions

Which tags are supported?

Headings, bold/italic, links, code, paragraphs, lists and blockquotes. Tables and images pass through as plain text.

What happens to inline styles and CSS classes?

They're dropped, since Markdown has no equivalent for inline styling - only the structural formatting converts.

Is my HTML uploaded anywhere?

No - parsing and conversion run entirely in your browser.

What's the reverse of this tool?

Use Markdown to HTML to go the other direction, converting Markdown back into HTML markup.
