HTML to Markdown Converter

What is HTML to Markdown Converter?

Paste HTML and get clean Markdown instantly. Useful for turning a formatted webpage or email into Markdown for a README, a wiki, or any Markdown-based system. Conversion happens live as you type, entirely in your browser, so pasted HTML, including content copied from an internal or private page, never has to be sent to a server to be converted.

How to Use HTML to Markdown

1. 1

   Paste the HTML: Enter formatted HTML, such as a webpage section or an email export.

2. 2

   Read the Markdown Result Instantly: The equivalent Markdown appears automatically as you type.

3. 3

   Copy the Result: Use the copy button to copy the Markdown into a README or wiki.

How It Works

Each structural HTML tag maps to its Markdown syntax equivalent: `<h1>`–`<h6>` become `#` through `######`, `<strong>`/`<b>` become `**bold**`, `<em>`/`<i>` become `*italic*`, `<a href="...">` becomes `[text](url)`, `<ul>`/`<ol>` with `<li>` items become `-`/`1.` list lines, and `<code>`/`<pre>` become backtick or fenced code blocks. Attributes with no Markdown equivalent, like `class`, inline `style`, or `id`, are dropped, since Markdown has no way to express them.

Example

<h2>Getting Started</h2>
<p>Run <code>npm install</code>, then check the <a href="https://example.com/docs">docs</a>.</p>
<ul>
  <li>Node 18+</li>
  <li>pnpm</li>
</ul>

Getting Started
---------------

Run `npm install`, then check the [docs](https://example.com/docs).

*   Node 18+
*   pnpm

The heading becomes `##`, the inline code and link keep their Markdown equivalents, and the list becomes `-` lines.

Common Use Cases

• Turning a formatted webpage section or documentation page into Markdown for a project's README.

• Converting a rich-text email or Google Doc export (as HTML) into Markdown for a wiki or Notion-style knowledge base.
