What is HTML to Markdown?

HTML to Markdown conversion transforms HTML markup into clean Markdown syntax. This is useful when migrating content from CMS platforms, web pages, or rich text editors into Markdown-based systems like GitHub READMEs, static site generators (Hugo, Jekyll, Next.js), note-taking apps (Obsidian, Notion), and documentation platforms.

How to Use

  1. Paste your HTML code in the input area
  2. The Markdown output appears instantly in the result panel
  3. Common HTML tags (headings, bold, italic, links, lists, code) are converted automatically
  4. Review the output and adjust any edge cases manually
  5. Copy the Markdown result to your clipboard

Examples

Input<h1>Hello</h1> <p>This is <strong>bold</strong> and <em>italic</em>.</p> <ul><li>Item 1</li><li>Item 2</li></ul>
Output# Hello This is **bold** and *italic*. - Item 1 - Item 2

HTML table to Markdown

Input<table><tr><th>Name</th><th>Age</th></tr><tr><td>Alice</td><td>30</td></tr></table>

Frequently Asked Questions

Which HTML tags are supported?

All common tags: headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold/strong, italic/em, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and tables. Less common tags may be converted to plain text.

Does it handle inline styles and classes?

No. Markdown does not support inline styles or CSS classes. Style information is stripped during conversion. Only semantic HTML structure is preserved in the Markdown output.

Can I convert Markdown back to HTML?

This tool converts HTML to Markdown only. For the reverse direction, use the Markdown Previewer tool which renders Markdown as HTML in real-time.
