How to use HTML to Markdown Converter

  1. Paste your HTML
  2. Choose the bullet and heading style
  3. Click Convert to Markdown
  4. Copy or download the Markdown

Who should use it

Made for developers. Typical uses:

  • Converting a blog post's HTML source into Markdown before migrating to a Markdown-based CMS
  • Turning HTML documentation into Markdown for a GitHub README or wiki
  • Cleaning up HTML copied from a webpage into readable Markdown notes

Limitations and accuracy

Complex layout HTML (nested divs, inline styles, forms) is reduced to its text structure, because Markdown has no equivalent for layout.

Accuracy: Output is tested against known inputs. For production code, review the result and run your own tests.
