About this tool

HTML to Markdown Converter parses any HTML you paste and emits clean GitHub flavored Markdown directly in your browser. Paste HTML on the left and the Markdown version appears on the right as you type. The parser uses the browser's built-in DOMParser, so it accepts the messy real-world HTML that comes out of WYSIWYG editors, CMS exports, email clients, and copy-paste from Google Docs or Notion. Headings (h1 to h6) become ATX or Setext style, paragraphs become blank-line separated text, bold and italic become **strong** and *emphasis* with your choice of delimiter, inline code becomes single backticks (or doubled when the content already contains a backtick), preformatted blocks become fenced code blocks with the language pulled from class="language-x", links become [text](url) or numbered reference style, images become  (or are dropped entirely with a single toggle), block quotes become quoted lines with the right > prefix, horizontal rules become ---, line breaks become hard breaks, and ordered and unordered lists are rendered with proper indentation, even when nested. Tables are emitted as GFM pipe tables with column alignment read from align attributes or inline text-align styles. Strikethrough (<del>, <s>, <strike>) becomes ~~strikethrough~~ when GFM is on. Special characters in plain text are escaped so the output is safe to paste into a Markdown renderer without surprise formatting. Quick presets cover the four most common jobs in a single click: GitHub flavored, CommonMark (no GFM extensions), reference links (move all link URLs to a numbered block at the bottom), and minimal (drop images, no GFM). Useful for porting CMS articles into a static site, converting HTML email signatures into Markdown, turning rich-text export into a documentation page, scraping a snippet from a page into a README, prepping content for a static site generator, or simply normalizing a paragraph someone pasted into a chat. Everything runs locally on your device, so the HTML you paste here is never uploaded.
