About HTML To Markdown Converter Online
This tool converts HTML into clean, readable Markdown. Block elements like <h1>, <p>, <ul>, and <blockquote> become their Markdown equivalents (#, paragraph spacing, -, > respectively). Inline elements like <strong>, <em>, <code>, and <a> convert to **, *, `, and []() syntax.
HTML-to-Markdown conversion is essential when migrating from a CMS or rich text editor to a Markdown-based system (static site generator, documentation tool, note-taking app). It strips away presentational HTML and leaves the semantic content.
The tool handles nested lists, tables, code blocks, and images correctly. HTML elements that have no Markdown equivalent are either preserved as raw HTML inline or stripped entirely, depending on the option you choose.
How to use this tool
How to convert HTML to Markdown-like text
Paste your HTML
Drop the HTML fragment into the "HTML" field. Full pages work too — the tool ignores `<!doctype>`, scripts, and style content while traversing the structure.
How tags are mapped
Common tags become Markdown equivalents: h1–h6 → #-prefixed headings, strong/b → **bold**, em/i → *italic*, code → `code`, a → [text](href), ul/ol → list bullets/numbers, br → newline.
Press Run
Output is a single `markdown` field. Unknown or unsupported tags (custom elements, semantic HTML5 wrappers) are stripped, and only the text remains — the renderer prefers losing markup over corrupting content.
Use case caveats
This is a simple tag stripper, not a full HTML-to-MD converter (no Turndown). Don't expect tables, image references, or nested blockquotes to survive intact. For complex web pages prefer a dedicated tool.
