HTML to Markdown Converter

Summary

Paste any HTML snippet or full page and get clean, readable Markdown instantly — all in your browser.

How it works

1. Paste or type your HTML into the input panel on the left.
2. Click "Convert to Markdown" — the tool parses the markup using a DOM walker.
3. Each HTML element is mapped to its Markdown equivalent (e.g. <h2> becomes ##, <strong> becomes **).
4. The resulting Markdown appears in the output panel on the right.
5. Click "Copy Markdown" to copy to clipboard, or "Download .md" to save the file.

Use cases

• Transform HTML documentation into .md files for GitHub or GitLab wikis.
• Clean up pasted rich-text content before committing it to a Markdown-based knowledge base.
• Migrate WordPress or Drupal content to a Markdown-first headless CMS.
• Prepare HTML email copy as readable Markdown for version control.
• Strip HTML from scraped web pages and get structured Markdown instead of raw text.
• Convert HTML README drafts to proper .md format before pushing to a repository.
• Turn HTML technical specs into Markdown for developer documentation portals.
