What is HTML to Markdown

HTML to Markdown is a free online converter that turns web markup into Markdown as you type (live output). It uses Turndown with ATX headings, fenced code, and common list/emphasis rules — handy for docs, READMEs, and CMS drafts.

There is no separate Convert click: the Markdown pane updates while you edit. Complex tables and layouts may need manual cleanup afterward.

How to use HTML to Markdown

  1. Step 1: Add HTML. Paste, Import, Sample, or Fetch URL.
  2. Step 2: Watch Markdown update live. Edit HTML and review the Markdown pane (no Convert button).
  3. Step 3: Copy or download .md. Take the Markdown into your docs tool or repository.
