What is HTML to Markdown Converter?
An HTML to Markdown converter transforms HTML markup into clean, readable Markdown syntax.
This is essential when migrating content from websites, CMS platforms, or email templates to Markdown-based systems like GitHub, Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, Notion, or Obsidian. Our free converter handles all common HTML elements including headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold and italic text, strikethrough, hyperlinks with href attributes, images with alt text, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks, inline code, blockquotes, and horizontal rules. It automatically strips script and style tags that would be meaningless in Markdown, and decodes HTML entities like & and < back to their plain text equivalents. The output is clean, properly formatted Markdown that you can immediately use in any Markdown editor or static site generator. Perfect for developers converting documentation, content writers migrating blog posts, or anyone who needs to extract readable text from HTML source code.
