Why this helps in text and data workflows
Cleaning up a CMS export or scraped page into Markdown for documentation or a static site.

Stripping HTML boilerplate from a page's content so you're left with just readable text structure.
Common problems and fixes
The Markdown output has too many blank lines and extra whitespace.
Complex HTML with lots of divs and wrappers tends to produce extra blank lines. Most Markdown renderers collapse extra whitespace, but you can clean it up manually or with a text editor.
Some HTML elements aren't converting — they appear as raw HTML in the output.
Elements without a Markdown equivalent — like tables with complex spans, or custom components — may be kept as-is or dropped. Standard elements like headings, paragraphs, and lists convert cleanly.
Script and style tags are appearing in the Markdown output.
The converter strips script and style blocks, but very large or nested HTML documents with embedded scripts may produce unexpected output. Clean up the HTML before converting.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HTML to Markdown?
Paste your HTML into the input box, run the converter, and copy or download the Markdown output.
Will this HTML to Markdown converter keep links and headings?
Yes. The tool converts common HTML structures such as headings, links, paragraphs, emphasis, blockquotes, code blocks, and lists into Markdown.
What happens to HTML elements with no Markdown equivalent?
Elements like tables may be kept in raw HTML or simplified. Decorative divs and wrappers are typically stripped. Standard content elements convert cleanly.
Can I paste a full HTML page?
Yes, though the output will only reflect the page's content structure. Navigation, scripts, head content, and layout wrappers are stripped or ignored.

Yes. Both tools accept Markdown. Converting HTML content first gives you cleaner, more portable text that pastes without formatting artifacts.
Is this HTML to Markdown converter free?
Yes. It is free to use in your browser.
