About HTML to Markdown Conversion

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that is widely used for documentation, README files, blogs, and note-taking. Converting HTML to Markdown makes content portable across platforms like GitHub, GitLab, Notion, and static site generators.

This bi-directional converter handles HTML to Markdown (HTML→MD) and Markdown to HTML (MD→HTML), supporting headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, lists, code blocks, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does HTML to Markdown conversion work?
HTML to Markdown conversion parses the HTML DOM and maps each element to its Markdown equivalent. For example, <h1> becomes # heading, <strong> becomes **bold**, <a href> becomes [text](url), and <ul><li> becomes - list items. This tool handles headings, paragraphs, links, images, lists, tables, code blocks, blockquotes, and more.
Is my data safe when converting HTML to Markdown?
Yes, completely safe. This converter runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript. No data is ever sent to a server. Your HTML and Markdown content stays on your computer at all times.
What HTML elements are supported in the conversion?
This tool supports all common HTML elements: headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold/italic/strikethrough text, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks and inline code, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and tables. It also supports the reverse direction, converting Markdown back to clean HTML.
