All interactive tools run entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

How It Works

Paste any HTML into the input area and instantly get clean Markdown output. The converter parses HTML using the browser’s native DOMParser and recursively converts elements to their Markdown equivalents.

Features

  • Full element support: headings (h1-h6), bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, lists (ordered/unordered/nested), code (inline + blocks), blockquotes, tables, horizontal rules
  • Configurable output: ATX (#) or setext (underline) headings, -/*/+ bullet characters, fenced or indented code blocks, */_ emphasis delimiters
  • Language detection: extracts language hint from class="language-*" on code blocks
  • Table conversion: generates proper Markdown tables with header separator
  • Script/style stripping: removes non-content elements
  • 5 examples: basic formatting, lists, code blocks, tables, blockquotes + images
  • Copy to clipboard: one-click copy of converted output
  • Private: runs entirely in the browser — no data transmitted
