About the HTML to Markdown Tool
Going from HTML back to Markdown is what you do when you are migrating content out of a legacy CMS, moving a site to a static generator, or pulling web content into a documentation system. Markdown is dramatically easier to version control, diff, and edit by hand than a wall of nested tags.
The converter maps HTML elements to their Markdown equivalents โ headings, emphasis, lists, links, images, blockquotes, and code blocks โ and discards presentational markup that has no Markdown counterpart. The result is clean, readable source text. Everything runs in your browser with no upload.
How to Use HTML to Markdown
- Paste your HTML into the input area.
- Press Convert to translate it into Markdown.
- Review the output, paying attention to any complex nested structures.
- Copy the Markdown into your documentation, README, or content file.
When to Use This Tool
- Migrating blog posts out of WordPress into a static site generator
- Converting web documentation into Markdown for a Git repository
- Cleaning HTML email or CMS output into plain, editable text
- Preparing web content for a README or wiki page
- Extracting readable content from heavily marked-up HTML
Things Worth Knowing
- Markdown has no equivalent for many HTML features. Complex tables, nested divs, and inline styling are simplified or dropped.
- Script and style blocks are removed entirely.
- Always review the output โ deeply nested lists and mixed content sometimes need manual tidying.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to CSS classes and inline styles?
They are discarded. Markdown describes structure, not presentation, so there is nowhere for styling information to go.
Are HTML tables converted?
Simple tables map to Markdown pipe table syntax. Tables with merged cells, nested content, or complex headers cannot be represented in Markdown and will be simplified.
Will links and images survive?
Yes. Anchor tags become Markdown link syntax and image tags become image syntax, with URLs and alt text preserved.
Can I convert back to HTML afterwards?
Yes, using the Markdown to HTML tool. Note that the round trip is lossy โ presentational markup removed on the way out does not come back.
