HTML to Markdown

Introducing HTML to Markdown — Structure, Preserved

Convert HTML into clean Markdown — headings, links, lists, emphasis, blockquotes, and code — with nested lists and verbatim code handled correctly. Client-side and free.

Markdown runs the world’s documentation, but the content you need often starts as HTML. The new HTML to Markdown converter translates it cleanly — preserving structure, dropping the noise — in your browser.

What it does

  • Structure preserved: headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, blockquotes, and code.
  • Nested lists: indented correctly at any depth.
  • Verbatim code: <pre> and <code> captured exactly, not collapsed.
  • Clean output: scripts, styles, comments, and presentational tags removed.
  • Private: everything runs client-side; nothing is uploaded.

Why it matters

Rebuilding web content as Markdown by hand is slow and error-prone. Converting it mechanically keeps the structure that matters in a portable, diff-friendly format — ideal for READMEs, wikis, static sites, and note apps.

Curious what maps cleanly and what gets dropped? Our HTML to Markdown guide walks through the mappings, nested lists, code handling, and when to convert versus strip — then try it live in the HTML to Markdown tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which elements does it convert?
Headings, paragraphs, bold and italic, links, images, ordered and unordered lists including nested ones, blockquotes, and code blocks. Presentational tags are unwrapped to keep their text.
What gets removed?
Scripts, styles, and comments are stripped entirely, since none of them belong in clean Markdown.
