HTML to Markdown Converter — Turn HTML Into Markdown

Open the converter

This HTML to Markdown converter turns HTML into clean Markdown using Turndown, fully in your browser. Useful when you are migrating content out of a CMS, archiving a webpage to a notes app, or pulling rich text into a Markdown-based workflow like a static site or an LLM prompt.

Going from HTML back to Markdown is the second half of the round-trip. People move from WordPress, Notion, Google Docs, or a CMS to a Markdown-based system (Obsidian, a static site, a docs platform) all the time, and the manual cleanup is awful. Turndown handles the structural mapping — paragraphs, headings, lists, links, code blocks, images — and produces Markdown that is easy to read and easy to edit.

Unsupported HTML constructs (style tags, scripts, advanced layout) are stripped. Inline CSS is ignored. The output focuses on semantic content rather than presentation, which is exactly what you want when moving content from a styled environment into a plain-text one.

Use the copy-to-clipboard button to paste the Markdown straight into your editor, or download the .md file to commit it to a repo.

Frequently asked questions

Is my HTML uploaded?

No. Turndown runs in your browser. The HTML and resulting Markdown never leave your device.

Does it handle complex HTML like nested tables?

Basic tables yes. Highly nested or layout-driven tables may lose structure because Markdown does not support all of HTML's table features.

What happens to inline styles or scripts?

Style and script tags are stripped. The output is pure semantic Markdown.

Will images be preserved?

Yes. Image tags become Markdown image syntax with the same URL. The images themselves are not downloaded — Markdown just references them.

Can I copy the Markdown directly?

Yes. After conversion, use the "Copy text" button to copy without downloading.
