THE CONVERTER
Convert HTML to Markdown Online
Convert HTML to Markdown online and turn markup into clean, readable Markdown. Paste HTML code into the editor, or upload an .html file, and the converted Markdown appears instantly. Headings, lists, links, images, tables, blockquotes, and code blocks all come across with their structure intact.
The converter runs entirely in your browser, so private pages, email templates, and internal HTML never touch a server. Tune the conversion options when you need different heading styles, bullet markers, or a stripped-down document, then copy or download the result as a .md file. From there you can export an editable draft with Markdown to Word or a polished handoff with Markdown to PDF.
THREE SHORT STEPS
How to Convert HTML to Markdown
Review the Generated Markdown
The Markdown appears on the right as you type. Check headings, lists, tables, links, and code blocks, and adjust the conversion options if needed.
Copy or Download the Markdown
Copy the result to your clipboard or download it as an .md file, ready for your documentation, README, or CMS.
EVERYTHING INCLUDED
HTML to Markdown Conversion Features
More than a tag-by-tag replacement. The converter understands the structure of your HTML and rebuilds it as idiomatic Markdown.
GitHub-Compatible Markdown
Headings, lists, task lists, and strikethrough come out as Markdown you can paste into GitHub, docs, or a CMS.
HTML Tables to Markdown
Table rows and cells are rebuilt as clean Markdown tables, not loose lines of text.
Links and Images
Anchors become [text](url) references and images keep their alt text, or strip both with one option.
Code Blocks
Inline code stays inline, and preformatted blocks become fenced code with the language kept.
Clean HTML Before Conversion
Drop scripts, styles, comments, empty elements, and page chrome before anything is converted.
Private Browser-Based Conversion
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your HTML never leaves your device.

What This Converter Handles
Use it for source HTML, exported snippets, CMS content, email templates, and documentation fragments. It keeps content structure while leaving browser-only behavior behind.
| Area | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Input methods | Supported | Paste raw HTML, read from your clipboard, or upload .html, .htm, and .txt files. |
| File size | Limited | Uploaded files are capped at 2 MB so conversion stays fast and responsive in the browser. |
| HTML structure | Supported | Headings, paragraphs, emphasis, lists, links, images, tables, blockquotes, horizontal rules, inline code, and fenced code blocks are converted. |
| Page URLs | Not included | This page converts HTML code that you provide. It does not open web pages or convert content that only appears after a page loads. |
| Visual styling | Limited | Markdown keeps the readable content, not the exact visual design. Colors, spacing, scripts, forms, and interactive elements may be removed or simplified. |
| Privacy | Supported | Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your HTML is not uploaded or sent to a server. |
AI CLEANUP
Cleaner Markdown for AI Tools
When Clean Markdown for AI is enabled, the converter prepares HTML as clean source material instead of trying to preserve every web-page detail.
Remove page clutter
Navigation, footers, forms, hidden content, embedded media, and decorative elements are stripped before conversion.
Normalize structure
Heading levels are shifted toward a clean H1-first outline, then repeated blank lines are collapsed.
Reduce extra markup
Useful link, image, table, list, and code details are kept while noisy styling and tracking data are removed.
Keep useful Markdown
Tables, links, images, code blocks, lists, and blockquotes remain readable so the output is easier to review, quote, or reuse with AI tools.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert HTML to Markdown?+
Paste your HTML into the left pane or upload an .html file. The converter turns it into Markdown as you type, preserving headings, lists, tables, links, images, and code blocks. Copy the result or download it as an .md file.
Can I convert HTML to Markdown online?+
Yes. This is a free online converter that runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to install and no account or signup is required.
Does the converter support HTML tables?+
Yes. HTML tables are converted to Markdown tables with a header row and column separators. You can switch table conversion off in the conversion options.
Are links and images preserved?+
Yes. Links become Markdown [text](url) references and images keep their alt text. The options let you keep text only or remove images when you want a cleaner document.
Can I convert a web page URL to Markdown?+
Not on this page. The HTML to Markdown converter works with HTML code that you paste or upload. It does not open URLs, sign in to websites, or convert content that only appears after a page loads.
Why does some HTML not convert exactly?+
Markdown represents document structure, not every visual detail from a web page. Layout, colors, scripts, forms, embedded widgets, and some custom components may be removed or simplified while the readable content is kept.
What does Clean Markdown for AI do?+
Clean Markdown for AI removes common page clutter, hidden content, controls, tracking details, and extra blank lines, then normalizes heading levels so the result is easier to read, summarize, or reuse with AI tools.
Is my HTML uploaded to a server?+
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser, so your HTML never leaves your device. Nothing is stored or sent while you type.
