How it works
Paste or drop your HTML
Paste HTML into the box or drop a HTML page (.html). It is read in your browser and shown as it will read.
Check the preview
The document appears beside it, with the Markdown underneath.
Download the Markdown
Clean GitHub-flavoured Markdown: # headings, *bold*, lists, tables and fenced code. Pictures go in an images folder beside it (as a ZIP), or inline if you prefer. Nothing is uploaded at any point.

HTML is the language web pages are written in. Markdown is plain text with simple marks for headings, lists and links.
Headings, paragraphs, lists and links carry across, and the text stays real, selectable text.

Why it matters
What it reads
The text of the page with its headings, lists, tables, links and pictures. Scripts, menus, forms and styling are left out: what you get is the document, not the website around it. For its pictures, pick the .html and its pictures together, drop the folder or a zip of it, or open the page saved as "Webpage, Single File" (.mhtml).
What you get
Clean GitHub-flavoured Markdown: # headings, *bold*, lists, tables and fenced code. Pictures go in an images folder beside it (as a ZIP), or inline if you prefer.
Nothing uploaded
Your document never leaves this tab: it is read and written by your browser, so private reports, books and emails stay private.
Questions
Is my HTML file uploaded anywhere?
No. The html to markdown conversion runs in your browser, on your own device. The file never leaves it.
How do I convert HTML to Markdown?
Paste the HTML or drop the file on this page, check the preview, and press Download Markdown. The conversion runs in your browser in a second or two.
Which Markdown is written?
GitHub-flavoured Markdown: # headings, *bold, italic*, ~~strike-through~~, lists, task lists, tables with alignment and fenced code blocks. It reads the same on GitHub, Obsidian, Notion and in static site generators.
What happens to pictures?
They are saved as files in an images folder and linked from the Markdown, with both in a ZIP. Tick "Pictures inside the Markdown" to keep a single .md file with the pictures embedded instead.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, so the file never reaches a server. It works offline once the page has loaded.
