HTML to Markdown Converter
Convert HTML markup into clean, readable Markdown syntax — stripping tags and replacing them with standard Markdown formatting.
What Does This Tool Do?
Markdown is a lightweight text formatting language that's much easier to read and write than HTML. This tool converts HTML — with all its angle brackets and tags — into clean Markdown. Headings, bold, italic, links, lists, and code blocks are all converted to their Markdown equivalents.
Key Features
How to Use This Tool

How It Works
The HTML is processed by a series of regex replacements that convert HTML patterns to their Markdown equivalents:
to # , to **, to *, to [](), /- to - lists, and
/- to numbered lists. Remaining HTML tags are stripped.
- /
- to numbered lists. Remaining HTML tags are stripped.
Common Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it handle nested HTML?
It handles the most common patterns. Deeply nested or unusual HTML structures may not convert perfectly — always review the output.
What about HTML attributes like class or id?
Standard formatting attributes (href, src, alt) are used in the conversion. Non-semantic attributes like class, id, and data attributes are stripped since Markdown has no equivalent.
