About This Tool

This tool does the reverse of a Markdown converter: it takes HTML and turns it into clean Markdown. It is useful when you are migrating content out of a rich-text editor or a web page into a Markdown-based system such as a static site or a documentation repository.

The conversion maps HTML elements back to their Markdown equivalents where one exists, stripping the surrounding tag noise while preserving headings, links, lists, and emphasis. Elements with no Markdown equivalent are handled gracefully, so the output stays readable rather than reintroducing raw HTML.

The conversion is lossy in one direction by design: HTML can express styling and structure that Markdown has no syntax for, such as arbitrary inline styles or nested tables, so those are simplified or dropped. That is usually the point, since the goal is clean, portable text. Reviewing the output for any complex tables or embedded markup that did not survive is a sensible final step before committing the result. Reviewing the output for complex tables, nested structures, or inline styles is a sensible final step, because those are the elements most likely to be simplified in the move to Markdown, and catching them early avoids surprises when the file is published.

How to Use It

  1. Paste your HTML.
  2. See the Markdown output.
  3. Copy the Markdown into your editor or repository.
