Convert HTML to Markdown

Migrating content out of a CMS or cleaning up HTML for a documentation site? This converter walks the parsed HTML document and produces tidy Markdown — converting headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, code, and blockquotes.

Elements converted

  • Headings <h1>–<h6> to # syntax
  • <strong>/<em> to **bold** and *italic*
  • <a> and <img> to Markdown links/images
  • <ul>/<ol> lists and <pre> code blocks

Clean output

The converter strips presentational noise and collapses excess blank lines, giving you portable Markdown that reads well in any editor or static-site generator.

Content migration made easy

Markdown is the lingua franca of modern documentation and static sites. Converting legacy HTML to Markdown frees your content from a specific CMS and makes it easy to version-control, diff, and edit in any text editor.

100% Private & Processed Locally
