How it works
Turn a readable HTML fragment into reviewable Markdown
02
Convert locally
The tool turns common headings, text formatting, links, images, lists, and code blocks into Markdown.
03
Review the result
Read the output and any notices before you copy or download the Markdown.
Deliberate limits
Markdown cannot express every webpage feature.
Scripts, styles, templates, and noscript blocks are removed. Tables, media, forms, and interactive elements need a manual check because Markdown has no complete equivalent. The tool never follows source links or loads images.
Keeps common structure
Headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, links, images, lists, quotes, and code blocks are converted.
Does not render source
HTML is treated as text. It is not inserted into a preview and no embedded script is run.
No automatic fetches
Image and link addresses can be written into output, but the tool does not open or request them.
Review is part of conversion
Notices flag removed blocks and structures that Markdown may not represent fully.
FAQ
Common questions
Does it turn Markdown back into HTML?
No. This page is deliberately one-way: HTML source to Markdown. It keeps the conversion scope reviewable.
Will a table look exactly the same in Markdown?
Not necessarily. The tool flags tables for review because column spans, styling, and layout often have no reliable Markdown equivalent.
Are pasted pages or links uploaded?
No. Conversion happens locally. The tool does not fetch linked pages, images, scripts, or stylesheets.
