HTML to Markdown

Convert HTML, web pages and Word documents to clean Markdown — GitHub tables and task lists, your choice of heading, bullet, code and link style — with paste-as-formatted-text.

How to convert HTML to Markdown

  1. Paste HTML code, open HTML or Word files, or click “Paste formatted text” after copying part of a web page.
  2. Choose the Markdown style: headings, bullets, code blocks, emphasis, links, images and GitHub extras.
  3. Copy the Markdown or download it as .md — check the rendered preview first if you like.

About HTML to Markdown

Turn HTML into tidy, readable Markdown for README files, wikis, notes apps and static site generators. Paste code, open HTML or Word files, or paste formatted text copied from any web page or email.

Pick exactly the Markdown style you like — headings, bullets, code fences, emphasis and links — keep or drop images, and get GitHub tables, task lists and strike-through. Preview the result rendered before you copy or download it.

Good for

  • Moving content from websites into Markdown notes (Obsidian, Notion, GitHub)
  • Converting Word documents for static site generators
  • Cleaning up HTML emails into plain Markdown

Tip: Copy a section of a web page and use “Paste formatted text” — no need to view the page source.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert a web page without its source?

Yes — select and copy part of any web page or email, then click “Paste formatted text” (or press Ctrl+V into the empty box) and the formatting is converted.

Can it convert Word documents?

Yes, open a .docx file: headings, lists, bold, italic, links and tables are turned into Markdown.

Are tables supported?

Yes — with GitHub style on, HTML tables become Markdown tables, along with task lists and strike-through.

Can I choose the Markdown style?

Yes: # or underlined headings, -, * or + bullets, ``` or ~~~ fenced or indented code, * or _ emphasis, inline or reference links.

Can I open files?

Yes — open or drop TXT, Markdown, CSV, HTML, JSON, subtitles, Word (.docx), OpenDocument (.odt), RTF and PDF files, even several at once.

Are my HTML and documents uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, so nothing leaves your device. A draft is kept only in this browser so you don't lose it.
