About this tool

What Is HTML to Markdown Converter? The HTML to Markdown Converter transforms pasted HTML into clean, readable Markdown. Headings, paragraphs, lists, blockquotes, links, images, code blocks, and emphasis are converted to their Markdown equivalent. How It Works The converter builds a DOM from your HTML and walks it with simple rules: h1-h6 to #-######, blockquote to >, pre/code to fenced blocks, ul/ol to dashes or numbered lists, a to [text](href), img to , and strong/em to **/*_. Tags without a Markdown equivalent are stripped while their inner text is kept. Worked Example <h2>Title</h2><p>Hello <strong>world</strong></p> converts to ## Title followed by a paragraph Hello **world**.
