What is HTML to Markdown Converter?
HTML-to-Markdown conversion is the reverse of the more common Markdown-to-HTML pipeline. You need it when migrating content from a CMS that stores HTML (WordPress, Drupal, Squarespace) into a Markdown-native system (Obsidian, Notion, Hugo, GitHub), when extracting copy from a rendered web page into a plain-text editor, or when feeding HTML content into an AI prompt where Markdown preserves structure better than raw HTML tags. This tool handles the full conversion: headings (`<h1>–<h6>` → `#`), bold and italic, ordered and unordered lists, links with title attributes, images, code blocks, blockquotes, and tables.
The converter strips non-semantic tags (`<div>`, `<span>`, inline styles, class attributes) and keeps only content-carrying structure. This produces clean, readable Markdown rather than HTML-flavoured Markdown that just wraps everything in raw HTML passthrough. One important limitation: complex nested HTML structures, JavaScript-rendered content, or CSS-dependent layout cannot always be represented in Markdown — the converter outputs the closest semantic equivalent for each HTML pattern it encounters.

HTML to Markdown Converter FAQs
Quick answers about the workflow, privacy, and where this tool fits in a broader job.
Can it convert a full web page's HTML?
Yes — paste the page's source HTML (view-source: in the browser) and the converter extracts the content. For best results, copy only the main content section rather than the full HTML document including navigation, scripts, and footer.
Why does my table look different in Markdown?
Markdown tables use a pipe-separated format with limited alignment options. Complex HTML tables (merged cells, rowspan, colspan) cannot be represented in standard Markdown and are either simplified or converted to a list format as a fallback.
What happens to inline styles and class names?
They are stripped. Only semantic structure is preserved. If a `<div>` has no meaningful role (heading, list, paragraph, etc.), its wrapper is removed and the inner text is output as a paragraph.
