About this tool
Convert HTML into clean Markdown. Saves time when logs, design specs, or infra configs use a different format than your code expects.
Paste the HTML fragment or full document you want to convert. Run the conversion to produce Markdown headings, lists, links, and emphasis. Example — Simple article fragment: try `<h1>Hello</h1><p>World <strong>bold</strong></p>` and expect something like `# Hello World **bold**`.
Complex layouts, inline styles, and script/style tags do not translate cleanly. See also: Markdown Preview, HTML Beautifier, and HTML Entity Encoder/Decoder. Runs in your browser — nothing you paste gets uploaded.
How to use
- Paste the HTML fragment or full document you want to convert.
- Run the conversion to produce Markdown headings, lists, links, and emphasis.
- Skim the Markdown for tables or nested markup that may need a hand edit.
- Copy the result into a README, docs site, or CMS that prefers Markdown.
Example
Simple article fragment
Input
<h1>Hello</h1><p>World <strong>bold</strong></p>
Output
# Hello World **bold**
Limitations
- Complex layouts, inline styles, and script/style tags do not translate cleanly.
