HTML to Markdown Converter

This tool translates HTML markup into Markdown syntax: <h1> becomes #, <strong> becomes **bold**, <a href> becomes a [link](url), and lists become - items. It's built on Turndown, a dedicated HTML-to-Markdown library, so nested structures and mixed formatting convert reliably rather than through fragile find-and-replace.

The Markdown output updates live as you edit the HTML input, and if the HTML is malformed enough to be unparseable you'll see an error instead of silently wrong output.

Everything runs in your browser — no upload, no length limit beyond your device.

Content migration is the big one. Moving posts from WordPress or another HTML-based CMS into a Markdown-based system — Hugo, Jekyll, Astro, Obsidian, GitHub wikis — means converting years of HTML content. Pasting each post through this tool produces Markdown that's actually pleasant to maintain afterwards.

It also rescues web content for note-taking: copy a section of a web page's HTML, convert it, and paste tidy Markdown into your notes instead of the styling mess that direct copy-paste usually brings along.

Documentation writers use it in reverse of the usual flow: when the only existing copy of a document is rendered HTML, converting to Markdown recovers an editable source.

1. Paste your HTML into the left input pane.

2. The Markdown translation appears instantly on the right.

3. Copy the Markdown output.

4. Paste it into your Markdown editor, static site, or notes app.

Input:

<h1>Hello World</h1><p>This is <strong>HTML</strong>.</p>

Output:

# Hello World This is **HTML**.
