Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert HTML to Markdown online?+
Paste your HTML code into the input box, click Convert HTML to Markdown, then copy or download the generated Markdown output.
Which HTML tags are supported?+
The converter supports common tags such as h1 to h6, p, a, img, ul, ol, li, blockquote, pre, code, strong, em, br, and basic table text.
Does it remove scripts and styles?+
Yes. Script, style, noscript, iframe, and SVG content is skipped so the Markdown output stays focused on readable content.
Can I use the Markdown in GitHub or documentation?+
Yes. The output is designed for common Markdown workflows such as README files, documentation pages, notes, and static-site content.
Will complex HTML layouts convert perfectly?+
Not always. Markdown is simpler than HTML, so custom components, forms, nested layouts, and advanced tables may need manual cleanup.
Is my HTML uploaded to a server?+
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser, and your pasted HTML is not sent to WebToolsEdge for processing.
About this tool
Free HTML to Markdown Converter
Use this free HTML to Markdown Converter Online to turn HTML code into clean Markdown for documentation, blog drafts, README files, static-site content, developer notes, CMS cleanup, and AI-assisted writing workflows. Paste HTML from a webpage, editor, email template, CMS, or generated code, then convert it into readable Markdown that is easier to edit, version, and reuse. The converter handles common HTML elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, unordered lists, ordered lists, blockquotes, inline code, code blocks, bold text, italic text, and line breaks. It removes scripts, styles, and unnecessary markup so the output focuses on useful content rather than heavy HTML structure. This is helpful when you want to move content from a visual editor into Markdown-based tools such as GitHub, Notion imports, static-site generators, documentation systems, or developer workflows. HTML and Markdown are built for different jobs. HTML gives browsers exact structure and attributes, while Markdown is a lightweight writing format designed to stay readable as plain text. Converting HTML to Markdown can make content easier to review, store in Git, edit in a text editor, or pass into a publishing pipeline. Complex layouts, custom components, forms, scripts, and advanced tables may need manual cleanup after conversion because Markdown intentionally supports a simpler structure. All conversion runs locally in your browser. Your pasted HTML is not uploaded to WebToolsEdge for processing. When the Markdown looks correct, copy it to your clipboard or download it as a .md file.
