HTML to Markdown Converter

Convert HTML code to easy-to-read Markdown format.

HTML is the language of the web, but for writing and editing purposes, Markdown is often preferred due to its simplicity and readability. Whether you're cleaning up exported blog posts, reformatting website content, or converting legacy HTML for documentation, our HTML to Markdown Converter helps you streamline the process.

This free tool instantly transforms raw HTML code into clean, readable Markdown — making it easier to edit, share, or migrate your content.

What Is Markdown?

Markdown is a plain text markup language that uses simple syntax to format content. It's widely used for documentation, blogging, email formatting, and collaborative writing tools like GitHub, Notion, and Obsidian.

Compared to HTML, Markdown is faster to write and easier to read. Instead of long tags, it uses characters like asterisks and hashtags for formatting.

Example:

html

<strong>Bold Text</strong>

Becomes:

markdown

**Bold Text**

Why Use an HTML to Markdown Converter?

HTML is great for rendering content in browsers, but it’s not ideal for editing, version control, or collaboration. If you’ve copied HTML from a website, email client, or WYSIWYG editor, converting it to Markdown helps:

  • Clean up unnecessary tags and inline styles
  • Improve readability in version-controlled documents
  • Make it easier to update, repurpose, or publish in other platforms

Our HTML to Markdown Converter takes raw or messy HTML and gives you lightweight, semantic Markdown — instantly.
