Features

    
The converter maps h1–h6 to # headings, strong/b to **, em/i to *, links and images to [...](...) syntax, ul/ol to bullet and numbered lists, pre/code to fenced code blocks, blockquotes to > quotes, hr to ---, and simple tables to pipe tables. Scripts, styles, and comments are dropped, and HTML entities are decoded to real characters.

    
Benefits & Use Cases

    
Technical writers migrate CMS articles into Markdown-based docs and static-site generators; developers convert rendered README previews back to source; anyone archiving web content gets portable plain-text files that render everywhere. Local conversion keeps the content private.

    
Tips

    
Complex layouts with nested divs convert to plain paragraphs — Markdown has no divs, so simplify the HTML first for best results. Always skim the output: deeply nested lists or exotic table markup may need a quick manual fix.

  

  

    
Frequently Asked Questions

    
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight plain-text format for writing formatted documents. Simple symbols like # for headings and ** for bold convert to HTML, and it is the standard for READMEs, wikis, and static-site content.

    
Will all my HTML convert perfectly?
Common content elements convert cleanly. Layout-oriented markup (divs, spans with classes, forms, iframes) has no Markdown equivalent and becomes plain text or is dropped — this tool targets article-style content.

    
Are tables supported?
Yes. Simple tables with th/td convert to Markdown pipe tables with alignment preserved where specified. Nested tables or heavy colspan markup may need manual cleanup.

    
What happens to images and links?
Images become ![alt](src) and links become [text](href). Relative URLs are kept as-is, so you may want to make them absolute before converting for portable output.

    
Is my HTML uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser — your content never leaves your device.
