HTML is the language of the web, but it's cluttered with tags, classes, and styling that obscure the actual content. Converting HTML to Markdown strips away the noise, leaving you with clean, readable text that preserves the essential structure. Whether you're migrating content, archiving web pages, or preparing text for AI, HTML to Markdown conversion is the answer.
Why Convert HTML to Markdown?
Content Migration: Moving from WordPress, Drupal, or another CMS to a Markdown-based platform? Extract your content as HTML and convert it to Markdown for a clean migration.
Web Scraping Cleanup: Scraped web content is messy. Converting to Markdown normalizes the structure and removes unwanted markup.
AI and LLM Preparation: HTML tags add noise that confuses language models. Markdown provides the clean structure AI needs to understand your content.
Documentation from Web Sources: Turn online documentation, wiki pages, or articles into Markdown for offline reading or inclusion in your own docs.

Common Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the converter handle complex HTML?
We handle standard HTML elements well—headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, images, and basic formatting. Complex layouts with CSS positioning may not convert perfectly.
Are scripts and styles removed?
Yes, JavaScript, CSS, and other non-content elements are automatically stripped during conversion, leaving only the readable content.
Can I convert a live webpage?
Currently you need to save the webpage as HTML first (Cmd+S or Ctrl+S in your browser), then upload the saved file. We may add URL input in the future.
How are HTML tables converted?
Tables are converted to GitHub-Flavored Markdown table syntax. Complex tables with rowspan/colspan may need manual adjustment.
What happens to images in HTML?
Image tags are converted to Markdown image syntax with the original URLs preserved. Make sure the image URLs are absolute for them to work after conversion.
