HTML to Markdown Converter
Paste or load HTML, clean unsafe markup in your browser, then turn it into editable Markdown.
HTML input
Markdown result
Example HTML converted to Markdown.
Scripts, styles, event handlers, and unsafe links are removed before conversion. Complex CSS and meaningless wrapper elements are not retained.
How to Convert HTML to Markdown
Paste HTML or import an .html file, review the generated Markdown, then edit, copy, or download the result.
HTML to GitHub Flavored Markdown
The converter uses Turndown with GFM support to produce editable Markdown for tables, fenced code, lists, links, and familiar text formatting. Review the generated source before reusing it because HTML presentation rules and CSS do not map directly to Markdown.
Supported HTML: Headings, Lists, Tables and Code
Convert common headings, paragraphs, strong and emphasized text, links, ordered and unordered lists, tables, and preformatted code. The result targets maintainable Markdown rather than preserving every wrapper element or CSS-driven visual detail from the source HTML.
| HTML | Markdown |
|---|---|
| <h1> | # |
| <strong> | **bold** |
| <em> | *italic* |
| <a> | [text](url) |
| <ul> / <ol> | List |
| <pre> / <code> | Fenced / inline code |
| <table> | GFM table |
Safe HTML Cleanup
Before conversion, the browser removes scripts, styles, iframes, objects, embeds, link and metadata elements, event-handler attributes, and unsafe link schemes. This cleanup reduces executable or irrelevant markup while keeping the meaningful document content available for conversion.
Common Uses: CMS, Documentation and Web Content
Turn copied CMS markup, exported web content, documentation fragments, or saved HTML files into Markdown you can edit and version. This page does not fetch a URL: paste HTML directly or load a local .html, .htm, or .xhtml file.
