ToolsSoup's HTML to Markdown converter turns HTML markup into clean, readable Markdown. Paste your HTML on the left and the generated Markdown appears on the right, ready to copy to your clipboard or download as an .md file. It is the fastest way to pull content out of a web page, email, or CMS and into a README, blog post, or documentation file. Everything runs in your browser — your content is never uploaded.

      

        
What does an HTML to Markdown converter do?

        
An HTML to Markdown converter reads HTML markup and rewrites it using Markdown — the lightweight, plain-text syntax used in README files, static-site content, blog posts, and documentation. It walks through the HTML elements and replaces them with their Markdown equivalents: headings become # lines, strong tags become **bold**, anchors become a [link](url), lists become bullet or numbered lines, and so on. The result is portable, version-control-friendly text that is far easier to edit than raw HTML.

Which HTML elements are converted?

        
The converter handles the elements you meet most often: headings (h1–h6), paragraphs, bold and italic emphasis, inline code and preformatted code blocks, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, links, images, strikethrough, horizontal rules, line breaks, and simple tables. Scripts, styles, and other non-content tags are skipped so the Markdown stays clean.

Frequently asked questions

        

          
Why convert HTML to Markdown?

          
Markdown is plain text, so it is easier to read, edit, diff, and version-control than HTML. Converting lets you migrate web content into a README, static-site generator, wiki, or documentation system without hand-stripping tags.

        

        

          
Is the HTML to Markdown converter free?

          
Yes. Every tool on ToolsSoup is completely free, with no account, sign-up, or hidden limits.

        

        

          
Can I download the converted Markdown as a file?

          
Yes. Click Download .md to save the generated Markdown as a file you can drop straight into your project.

        

        

          
Does my HTML get uploaded anywhere?

          
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser with JavaScript, so your HTML and the resulting Markdown never leave your device.

        

        

          
What happens to elements that have no Markdown equivalent?

          
Markdown only covers common content elements, so tags it does not map — such as generic div or span wrappers — are unwrapped and their text kept, while non-content tags like script and style are removed. The output stays focused on the actual content.
