Convert HTML to Markdown Online Free (no login)

Converting HTML to Markdown is a common task for developers, content editors, and anyone migrating content from a CMS to a static site generator or documentation platform.

How to Convert HTML to Markdown

1. Paste your HTML into the input box on the left, or click Upload HTML File to load an .html or .htm file from your computer.
2. The Markdown output appears instantly in the panel on the right as you type or paste.
3. Review the converted Markdown — you can edit it directly in the output panel.
4. Click Copy Markdown to copy the result to your clipboard, or Download .md to save the file.
5. Use the Clear button to reset both panels and start fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

What HTML elements does this tool convert?

The converter handles the most common HTML elements: headings (h1–h6), paragraphs, bold (<strong>, <b>), italic (<em>, <i>), links (<a>), images (<img>), unordered lists (<ul>/<li>), ordered lists (<ol>/<li>), blockquotes (<blockquote>), inline code (<code>), and fenced code blocks (<pre><code>). Structural elements like <div>, <span>, and <section> are stripped and their text content preserved.

What is Markdown and why would I convert HTML to it?

Markdown is a lightweight plain-text formatting syntax that is widely used for README files, documentation (GitHub, GitLab, Confluence), static site generators (Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby), and content management platforms. Converting HTML to Markdown makes it easier to edit content in a version-controlled environment, move content between platforms, or write documentation without dealing with raw HTML tags.

Can I upload an entire HTML page?

Yes. If you upload or paste a full HTML document (with <html>, <head>, and <body> tags), the tool extracts and converts the body content. The <head> section (styles, scripts, meta tags) is ignored.

Will complex HTML like tables convert correctly?

Basic HTML tables (<table>, <tr>, <th>, <td>) are converted to GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) pipe tables. Complex tables with merged cells (colspan, rowspan) or nested tables are simplified — the cell content is preserved but the layout may require manual cleanup.

Does this work with HTML from a CMS like WordPress?

Yes. HTML exported from WordPress, Webflow, Contentful, or similar systems converts well. WordPress shortcodes and custom block attributes are stripped, but all semantic HTML content (headings, paragraphs, lists, links) converts cleanly to Markdown.

Is there a file size limit?

No hard limit is enforced. Very large files (over a few megabytes) may take a moment to process since everything runs in your browser, but there is no server-side restriction.

Can I convert the result back to HTML?

Not with this tool — but Flipper File has a dedicated Markdown to HTML Converter that does exactly that.

Is my HTML kept private?

Yes. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML is never sent to any server, logged, or stored.
