HTML to Markdown
Paste an HTML fragment or a whole page body and get clean Markdown back. The conversion runs locally in your browser (WebAssembly) — nothing is uploaded.
What it preserves
- Headings (
<h1>–<h6>→#…######) - Links and images
- Lists — ordered and unordered, including nesting
- Code — inline
`code`and fencedblocks - Tables, blockquotes, bold/italic, and horizontal rules
Good for
- Cleaning up copied rich text or scraped page HTML into Markdown for docs, READMEs, or notes.
- Converting a CMS/WYSIWYG export into plain Markdown.
FAQ
Is my HTML uploaded?
No — the converter is compiled to WebAssembly and runs entirely in your browser tab.
Does it run scripts or fetch the page?
No. It only parses the HTML you paste; it does not execute JavaScript or fetch remote URLs.
Do I have to paste a complete HTML document?
No — a fragment like a single <table> or a copied <div> works just as
well as a full page. Parsing uses html5ever, the same engine family browsers
use, so unclosed or slightly malformed tags are repaired the way a browser
would render them. The only hard error is empty input.
What happens to classes, ids, and inline styles?
They're dropped. Markdown has no way to express class, id, or style
attributes, so the converter keeps the structure Markdown can represent —
headings, links, images, lists, code, tables, blockquotes, emphasis — and
discards presentational attributes. If you need the styling, keep the HTML.
