HTML source

Heading style

Setext underlines apply to h1 and h2 only; deeper levels stay ATX.

Keep unsupported tags

Markdown result

What

HTML to Markdown definition

HTML to Markdown conversion turns rendered markup back into portable plain-text Markdown. This tool parses the HTML into a DOM inside your browser and maps every element to its closest CommonMark or GitHub Flavored Markdown equivalent.

Cases

Use Cases

Migrate legacy CMS articles into a Markdown-based static site.

Turn a documentation page into README or wiki content.

Clean rich-text editor output before committing it to Git.

Reformat HTML pasted from email or docs into an issue description.

Extract GFM tables from HTML reports for a changelog.

Prepare HTML snippets as compact Markdown context for LLM prompts.

Knowledge

HTML to Markdown Basics

How the walker works

The HTML is parsed into a DOM and traversed node by node. Block elements become Markdown blocks separated by a blank line, while inline elements become wrappers such as ** or backticks, and whitespace is collapsed exactly as a browser would collapse it.

Markdown flavors

Headings, lists, and emphasis follow CommonMark, while tables and strikethrough follow GitHub Flavored Markdown. A renderer without GFM support will show pipe tables as plain text, so check your target renderer before relying on them.

Security and edge cases

Script, style, and noscript elements, comments, inline event handlers, and javascript: URLs are stripped before conversion, and malformed markup falls back to plain text instead of throwing. If you keep unsupported tags as raw HTML, sanitize that output again before rendering it anywhere.

FAQ

Which HTML elements are supported?

Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, blockquotes, links, images, code blocks, and inline formatting all map to Markdown. Anything else is either unwrapped or kept as raw HTML.

Can the pasted HTML run scripts?

No. Parsing is inert, and script, style, and noscript elements plus comments are removed before conversion starts.

How are tables converted?

Tables become GFM pipe tables, and column alignment is read from align attributes or text-align styles.

Why do some characters get a backslash?

Characters such as *, _, and [ carry meaning in Markdown, so they are escaped to keep the original text intact.

Is the code language preserved?

Yes. A class such as language-ts on a code element becomes the info string of the fenced code block.

Does my HTML leave the browser?

No. The whole conversion is client-side and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
