FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

    

      

        
Common reasons include migrating a blog or wiki page into a README file, cleaning up content copied from a rich-text editor or Notion export, moving content into a static site generator that uses Markdown source files, or simplifying HTML email content into plain formatted text.

        
Yes. HTML tables are converted to GitHub Flavored Markdown pipe tables, and <pre>/<code> blocks are converted to fenced Markdown code blocks, preserving the language class where present.

        
Headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold/italic/strikethrough, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, inline code, fenced code blocks, and tables are all converted to their Markdown equivalents.

        
Markdown is a simpler format than HTML, so highly complex layouts (nested tables, inline styles, custom CSS classes, multi-column layouts) can't be perfectly represented. The tool focuses on preserving content structure and standard formatting — the result is clean, readable Markdown rather than a pixel-perfect visual clone.

        
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML content is never sent to any server.

      

    

  






  

    

      
When You Need HTML to Markdown

      
Content moves between formats constantly: a blog post gets copied from a CMS into a README, a Notion page gets exported as HTML and needs to become a wiki entry, or a legacy documentation site is migrating to a Markdown-based static site generator like Jekyll, Hugo, or Docusaurus. In every case, hand-converting HTML tags to Markdown syntax is tedious and error-prone — this tool automates it.
