What is HTML to Markdown?
An HTML to Markdown converter reads HTML as text and produces Markdown for common tags, without running the markup.

What this tool does
Turn common HTML tags into Markdown: headings, links, lists, images, and tables. Use it when a blog excerpt or a CMS export should become a .md file. Script, style, and iframe blocks are skipped, and nested layouts can flatten.
How to use
- Paste HTML source. It is treated as text, not loaded as a page.
- Press Convert. Common tags become Markdown; script and style blocks are skipped.
- Copy the Markdown or download a .md file.
- Use Sample to see a safe example that does not execute.
Examples
A blog excerpt
<h2>Title</h2><p>Hello <strong>world</strong></p> becomes ## Title and a paragraph with **world**.
Unwanted scripts
A <script> block is ignored. The converter never evals or injects the markup into the document.
How it works
HTML is tokenized as source. Headings, paragraphs, links, emphasis, lists, quotes, code, pre, images, tables and rules map to Markdown. Nested layouts and custom elements may flatten. This is a practical subset, not a full HTML implementation.
Limitations
Headings, paragraphs, links, emphasis, lists, quotes, code, images, tables, and rules map to Markdown. Script, style, iframe, object, embed, and noscript blocks are skipped. Nested layouts can flatten. More than 400,000 characters is refused.
