What tags are supported?

We support all standard Markdown features: Headers (h1-h6), Paragraphs, Lists (ul/ol), Bold/Italic, Links, Images, Blockquotes, and Code blocks.

What happens to unsupported tags?

Tags that have no Markdown equivalent (like or ) are usually stripped, leaving just the text content inside, or kept as raw HTML depending on the complexity.

Can I convert a whole website?

You can paste the source of a page here, but for bulk conversion of an entire site, you would typically use a CLI tool or script. This tool is best for single articles or snippets.

Escape the Tags

HTML is great for browsers, but terrible for writers. If you have ever tried to edit a blog post in raw HTML, you know the pain of closing <div> tags.

Markdown is the future of content creation. It's lightweight, readable, and widely supported. Our HTML to Markdown Converter helps you migrate your legacy content instantly, preserving links, images, and formatting without the clutter.

How Migration Works

We parse the DOM tree and intelligently translate elements:

Typography

<h1>Title</h1> becomes # Title.
<b>Bold</b> becomes **Bold**.

Links & Images

We extract href and src attributes to build standard Markdown links: [Text](url) and ![Alt](img_url).

Lists

Nested <ul> and <ol> structures are converted to properly indented bullet points or numbered lists.

Code Blocks

<pre><code> blocks are detected and wrapped in triple backticks (```) for syntax highlighting compatibility.

CMS Migration

Moving from WordPress to a static site generator like Hugo, Jekyll, or Next.js? Use this to convert your post body content.

Email Extraction

Turn a marketing email (HTML) into a plain text version for archival or for users who prefer text-only viewing.

Learning

Inspect how a webpage is structured by seeing its "skeleton" in Markdown format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it preserve CSS styles?

No. Markdown is a "content" format, not a "style" format. Colors, fonts, and layout (CSS) are intentionally stripped to leave only the raw text and structure.

Can it handle tables?

Yes, most simple HTML tables are converted to Markdown table syntax. Complex tables with merged cells (colspan/rowspan) might not convert perfectly as Markdown has limited table support.

Is this reversible?

Mostly, yes. You can use a Markdown parser to turn the output back into HTML, though the exact class names and attributes of the original HTML will be lost.

Lossy Conversion

Converting HTML to Markdown is "lossy"—you lose specific styling attributes (`class`, `id`, `style`). Only the semantic structure remains.

Local Processing

We process your content in the browser. Large DOMs might take a moment to parse, but nothing is uploaded.
