HTML to Markdown Converter

To convert HTML to Markdown online, paste HTML source into the input box or upload a .html or .htm file. Open the workspace, review the generated Markdown, and keep editing either the source or the Markdown output before copying or downloading .md. This HTML to Markdown online flow is designed for a single pasted snippet or file. It is not a batch queue, website crawler, browser extension, or command-line library, so very large HTML archives still need a separate workflow.

RAG and LLM workflows often work better with structured text than raw markup. HTML to Markdown can help turn article bodies, docs exports, and saved HTML snippets into headings, lists, links, and code blocks that are easier to inspect before chunking. The output can be useful as AI-ready text, but it is not a retrieval guarantee. Remove boilerplate, scripts, styles, tracking text, and irrelevant navigation before using the Markdown in embeddings, prompts, or a knowledge base.

Content teams often get HTML from WordPress, help centers, internal portals, email builders, WYSIWYG editors, and copied web snippets. HTML to Markdown gives that material a simpler editing format without keeping every visual wrapper. Headings, paragraphs, emphasis, links, lists, blockquotes, images, and code blocks convert well in normal cases. CSS layout, font choices, colors, custom components, forms, scripts, and embedded widgets do not have a clean Markdown equivalent and should be reviewed after conversion.

The current HTML to Markdown converter uses Turndown with ATX heading style, fenced code blocks, dash bullets, and a custom strikethrough rule. In verified tests, H1-H6 headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, links, unordered lists, ordered lists, inline code, pre/code blocks, blockquotes, images, and del or strike text convert to readable Markdown. The workspace also acts as a light HTML Markdown editor: you can adjust the source, regenerate Markdown, format the output, preview it, copy it, or download .md.

HTML to Markdown is intentionally not described as perfect conversion. In the current product, an HTML table may keep its cell text but does not reliably become a GitHub Flavored Markdown table. For table-heavy input, use a table-specific workflow and check the result manually. The converter also does not remove script or style text automatically, so script and style content can appear in the Markdown. Complex HTML, multi-column layouts, hidden text, iframes, videos, and interactive components may be simplified or lost.

HTML to Markdown handles the HTML you paste or upload. Full webpage extraction is a different problem: fetching a URL, rendering JavaScript, identifying the main article, dropping ads and navigation, resolving redirects, and rewriting assets. This page does not fetch URLs or crawl websites. If you already have the clean HTML body, use HTML to Markdown here. If you need to start from a public URL, use the URL-to-Markdown workflow and still review the Markdown before publishing or feeding it to an AI system.
