How to Convert HTML to Markdown
HTML uses verbose tags while Markdown uses lightweight syntax. The HTML to Markdown converter handles common HTML elements: headings (h1-h6 → # syntax), bold (<strong>/<b> → **text**), italic (<em>/<i> → *text*), links → [text](url), lists → - item syntax, and code blocks → ` backtick ` syntax.
What Gets Preserved
Link URLs and image src/alt attributes are preserved in Markdown format. Ordered list numbers and nested list structure are maintained. Code block language hints from class attributes are preserved where possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this HTML to Markdown converter free?
Yes, completely free with no signup. All conversion runs locally in your browser.
Which HTML tags are supported?
The converter handles: headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold/strong, italic/em, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, code (inline and pre blocks), blockquotes, and horizontal rules.
Why would I convert HTML to Markdown?
Common use cases: migrating content from a CMS to a static site generator, copying web content into documentation tools like Obsidian or Notion, or extracting article content for editing in a Markdown editor.
Are HTML attributes preserved?
Link href and image src/alt attributes are preserved in Markdown format. Other HTML attributes (class, id, style) are dropped, as Markdown has no equivalent.
What happens with nested HTML structures?
Simple nesting (lists, blockquotes with content) is handled correctly. Complex nested tables or deeply nested structures may not convert perfectly — HTML tables are left as HTML since Markdown table support varies by implementation.
