HTML to Markdown

Turn HTML source into readable Markdown for documentation and publishing. Conversion happens locally, with explicit notes about removed content and destinations.

HTML source

Paste HTML source or import one local UTF-8 file. The tool does not open a website or fetch its resources.

Up to 1 MiB of UTF-8 and 1,048,576 UTF-16 code units; imported files must be valid UTF-8 and no larger than 1 MiB.

Markdown source

Convert your HTML to see Markdown here.

Your HTML and Markdown stay in this browser. The tool does not upload or store your input, filenames or output, or fetch URLs from the source. The site's general privacy policy still applies.

Convert HTML in three steps

  1. Paste HTML source or load one UTF-8 file up to 1 MiB. This tool reads markup as text; it does not open a website or fetch its images.
  2. Select Convert to Markdown. The tool keeps supported body structure, applies its destination policy and reports meaningful changes. CSS, page layout and interactive behavior are not reproduced.
  3. Review the Markdown and conversion notes, then copy the text or download converted.md. Check the result in your intended Markdown platform before publishing.

Understand the structural conversion

Headings, paragraphs, emphasis, lists, blockquotes, code, permitted links and images, and simple tables have Markdown equivalents. Styling, dimensions, event handlers and source attributes generally do not. The output is Markdown source, not a screenshot or a live page.

Relative destinations are preserved without guessing a website. A link such as ../guide still needs the right document location. Supplied base elements are ignored, and fragment targets can differ between Markdown platforms.

Scripts, comments and unsupported embedded content are removed. Links outside the destination policy retain their label; rejected images retain their alt text where available. Conversion notes explain these changes rather than promising perfect preservation.

This is not a rendered-visibility extractor or redaction tool. Source text hidden by CSS or attributes can appear in Markdown. Review the complete output, especially when converting content intended for publication.

Examples of retained structure and changes

An h1 containing Guide becomes an ATX heading, while a paragraph with strong text becomes a paragraph using Markdown emphasis markers. HTML entities are decoded by the HTML parser; ordinary Unicode text is retained.

A simple table without a header receives an empty header row so its original first row remains data. Merged or nested tables are rejected rather than expanded into an unreliable layout.

A rejected script destination is not copied as a link. Its readable label remains. A relative image path can remain as Markdown image syntax, but the image is never fetched or embedded by this converter.

Limits and compatibility

Input is limited to 1 MiB of UTF-8 and 1,048,576 UTF-16 code units. Local files must be valid UTF-8; other encodings are not guessed. Output and structural limits prevent partial or silently truncated documents.

Simple tables allow up to 100 columns, 1,000 rows including a header, and 10,000 padded cells across the conversion. Row or column spans, nested tables and complex cell blocks are unsupported. Reversed or reset ordered-list numbering is also rejected.

The output uses a fixed CommonMark-based profile with supported GFM tables, strikethrough and task items. HTML repairs and whitespace normalization can change source formatting; code extraction is not byte-identical file recovery.

Allowed links and images are text references, not verified destinations. No raw HTML output or rendered preview is offered, but this converter is not a universal sanitizer for every downstream Markdown renderer or custom decoder.

Local input and current exports

This tool does not upload or store your HTML, filenames or Markdown. It does not request URLs from the source. Editing, cancelling or clearing retires the previous result and its export actions. The site's general privacy policy still applies.

HTML to Markdown questions

There is no URL-fetch feature. Paste the markup itself or load a local UTF-8 HTML file. A pasted address is ordinary source text, not an instruction to open that site.

No. Supported structure is converted, but CSS, layout, forms, scripts and other browser behavior are not reproduced. Markdown platforms also differ in their rendering.

Permitted relative references stay relative. The tool does not resolve them against findit.city, a filename or a supplied base element. Check their destination context after moving the Markdown.

Merged cells, nested tables and complex cell blocks cannot be represented faithfully by this simple-table profile. The tool rejects the conversion instead of expanding or dropping rows silently.

Not reliably. This is structural source conversion, not computed browser visibility or redaction. Hidden text can appear in the output, so review it before publishing.

Yes. Both use the same current Markdown string. The UTF-8 download adds no byte-order mark and contains the same single final line feed for nonempty output.

If the source contains no retained Markdown content, the tool shows a valid empty result and its notes. It does not offer an empty clipboard or file as a successful export.
