About the HTML to Markdown Converter
Convert HTML to Markdown online for free, with no account and no watermark. HTML files are awkward to print, edit in Word or share as documents, so switching to Markdown is the quickest way to get clean GitHub-flavoured Markdown for README files, documentation, notes apps, blogs and GitHub.
Your HTML is first read into clean, structured content (headings, paragraphs, lists and tables are detected) and then written out as a proper Markdown file. Because everything happens on your own device, your web pages are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for contracts, resumes, bank statements and office documents.
What to expect: headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, links and tables are carried across; exotic page layouts such as text boxes, columns and headers or footers are simplified into a clean single-column flow.
How to use the HTML to Markdown Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your HTML web pages onto the box. You can add several at once.
- No settings are needed; the structure of the document is detected automatically.
- Press "Convert to Markdown". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each Markdown file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in GitHub or VS Code to check it; your original HTML is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- Headings, lists, links, bold, italic and tables are written as clean GitHub-flavoured Markdown.
- For best results, use real headings (Heading 1, Heading 2) in the source instead of bold text; they become proper headings in Markdown.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the Markdown to a website or government portal.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a web page markup best suited to publishing on the web, email newsletters and viewing documents in a browser. Markdown (Markdown) is a lightweight markup text best suited to README files, documentation, notes apps, blogs and GitHub.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.
