HTML to Markdown Converter

HTML powers the web, but Markdown powers the writer. When you need to migrate content from a CMS, convert documentation exports, or extract clean text from HTML emails, our free HTML to Markdown Converter transforms messy markup into clean, readable Markdown in milliseconds. It parses your HTML using the browser's native DOM parser — headings become # H1 through ###### H6, bold and italic are preserved, links are converted to [text](url) format, images become ![alt](src), lists are properly indented, code blocks are wrapped in triple backticks, blockquotes get > prefixes, and tables are structured as pipe-delimited markdown. Everything runs client-side — your content never touches a server.

How to Use

1. Paste your HTML — Enter any HTML markup in the left panel. Full documents, partial snippets, CMS output, and email templates are all supported.
2. See the Markdown output — The right panel instantly shows clean Markdown. Headings, lists, links, code blocks, and tables are automatically converted.
3. Copy or download — Copy the Markdown to your clipboard or download as a .md file ready for your project.
