HTML to MD Converter

Introducing the HTML to Markdown Converter

Convert whole HTML documents into committable Markdown files — with optional YAML frontmatter, a .md download, and the same clean conversion engine. Free and client-side.

Converting a snippet is one thing; migrating whole pages into a Markdown system is another. The new HTML to Markdown Converter is built for documents — frontmatter, file downloads, and clean Markdown, all in your browser.

What it does

  • Document-ready: optional YAML frontmatter with an auto-detected title.
  • Downloadable: save the result as a named .md file.
  • Clean conversion: headings, links, lists, blockquotes, and code preserved; scripts and styles removed.
  • Tidy files: optional trailing newline for linters and version control.
  • Private: everything runs client-side; nothing is uploaded.

Why it matters

Migrating content into a static site or docs framework means producing committable files, not clipboard text. Auto-generating frontmatter and downloading real .md files turns a page-by-page chore into a repeatable batch operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ from the HTML to Markdown tool?
Same conversion engine and identical Markdown, but this one is document-oriented: it adds YAML frontmatter from the first heading and lets you download a real .md file, ideal for migrations.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Conversion and the .md download both happen in your browser; nothing you paste or save is sent to a server.
