Details

The HTML to Markdown Converter transforms raw HTML into readable Markdown using the battle-tested Turndown library. It supports all common HTML elements — headings (h1–h6), bold, italic, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, code blocks, and tables. You can customise the heading style (ATX `#` signs vs setext underlines), the bullet-list marker (`-`, `*`, or `+`), and whether fenced (triple-backtick) or indented code blocks are emitted. Conversion happens entirely in your browser — no HTML is sent to a server.

Examples

Blog article HTML to Markdown

<!-- Input -->
<h1>My Article</h1>
<p>An intro with <strong>bold</strong> and <em>italic</em>.</p>
<ul>
  <li>First point</li>
  <li>Second point</li>
</ul>

<!-- Output (ATX headings, dash bullets) -->
# My Article

An intro with **bold** and _italic_.

- First point
- Second point

Headings become ATX-style hashes, inline formatting is preserved as Markdown emphasis, and list items use the configured bullet marker.

Code snippet with fenced blocks

<!-- Input -->
<pre><code class="language-js">const x = 42;</code></pre>

<!-- Output (fenced style) -->
```
const x = 42;
```

When the fenced code-block style is selected, pre/code elements become triple-backtick blocks instead of 4-space-indented blocks.

    About this tool

    HTML to Markdown Converter transforms raw HTML into clean, readable Markdown using the battle-tested Turndown library. It handles the full spectrum of common HTML — headings, bold, italic, links, images, lists, blockquotes, code blocks, and tables — and strips script and style content automatically.

    Three conversion options let you tailor the output to match your project's Markdown flavour. Heading style controls whether headings are rendered as ATX hash signs or setext underlines. Bullet list marker sets the character used for unordered items: dash, asterisk, or plus. Code block style switches between fenced triple-backtick blocks and four-space-indented blocks.

    Everything runs locally in your browser. No HTML is uploaded to any server, making the tool safe for use with private or sensitive content.
