HTML to Markdown Converter

Convert HTML into clean Markdown for READMEs, CMSs and notes apps

What is the HTML to Markdown Converter?

The html to markdown converter works like this: it converts HTML to Markdown with the turndown engine: headings, lists, links, images, code, blockquotes and tables survive; presentational markup is dropped. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

How to use the HTML to Markdown Converter

1. Paste the input (code, data or query).
2. Run the operation - formatting and validation are instant.
3. Read any validation message before trusting the output.
4. Copy the result into your project.

Features

• Instant client-side formatting and validation
• No telemetry on your data
• Copy-ready output with proper escaping

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using the wrong input dialect (JSON vs JSON5, cron 5 vs 6 fields)
• Copying output without checking escaping

Frequently asked questions

What happens to <div> layouts and styling?

Markdown has no layout concept - containers unwrap and styling drops; only semantic content survives, which is usually what you want.

Are tables converted?

GFM-style pipe tables are produced when the HTML table is simple; complex merged-cell tables degrade gracefully to their text.

Which HTML survives the conversion?

Structural markup - headings, lists, links, images, code, blockquotes and tables become their Markdown equivalents; purely presentational tags (font, center) are dropped.

How are nested lists handled?

Nesting depth is preserved with correct indentation, which is the part of hand-converting that most often goes wrong - sub-items land at the right level every time.
