Convert HTML to Markdown for clean, portable text

Good HTML carries both content and presentation. Markdown keeps the content and its useful structure, then leaves the presentation behind. This converter is for the moment when an HTML fragment needs to become a README, a knowledge-base draft, release notes, or a document you can edit without dragging page-specific markup along with it.

HTML to Markdown in one practical workflow

  1. Paste an HTML fragment or open an .html or .htm file.
  2. Check the Markdown output, then switch to Preview to see the document as readers will see it.
  3. Copy the result into a README, wiki, CMS, or note, or download it as an .md file.

The conversion runs on the markup you provide. It does not fetch a URL, crawl a page, or try to separate an article from a site's navigation. That keeps the result predictable and the source in your browser.

HTML to Markdown preserves document structure

Semantic HTML maps cleanly to Markdown: headings become # headings, links retain their URLs, emphasis remains emphasis, and lists keep their order. Ordinary HTML tables become GitHub Flavored Markdown tables, which makes copied release notes, product data, and technical reference material easier to reuse.

The preview is worth a quick look after any conversion with a table. Merged cells, nested content, and custom table layouts have no exact Markdown equivalent, so the output may need a small edit before it is ready to publish.

What an HTML to Markdown converter leaves behind

HTML and Markdown solve different problems. HTML can control layout and behavior in a browser; Markdown is designed to stay readable as plain text. CSS classes, layout wrappers, scripts, forms, and interactive widgets do not carry over because Markdown has no matching syntax for them.

Keep the original HTML when the exact page design matters. Convert it when the words, hierarchy, links, and simple tables are what you need to move into the next system.

Markdown that travels well

Markdown is a strong fit for repositories, changelogs, documentation, notes, and lightweight CMS drafts. It is easy to inspect in a diff, edit without a visual editor, and hand off between tools. Converting selected HTML into Markdown gives you a smaller, more portable starting point without asking the next tool to understand an entire web page.
