Convert HTML to Markdown
Enter a URL to any HTML page and we will scrape and convert it to Markdown. Also supports pasting raw HTML directly. Great for extracting content from web pages for use in documentation or AI training.
Convert HTML pages or raw HTML code to clean Markdown with just a URL or paste.
About this tool
What this converter does
HTML is verbose by design: a simple article carries tags, attributes, classes, and wrapper elements that mean nothing once the content leaves the browser. This converter fetches a page by URL and translates its content into Markdown, so headings, links, lists, and code blocks arrive as clean, portable syntax.
Developers use it to turn existing web pages into documentation sources, README material, or Markdown-first CMS content without hand-stripping markup. If you have raw HTML on your clipboard instead of a URL, the Paste to Markdown tool converts it directly in your browser.
How to use HTML to Markdown
- 1
Enter the page URL
Paste the address of any publicly reachable HTML page into the input field.
- 2
Fetch and convert
The page is retrieved and its content is translated to Markdown: headings to #-syntax, anchors to links, and code to fenced blocks.
- 3
Use the Markdown anywhere
Copy the result or download it as a .md file for your docs repository, wiki, or static site.
Good to know
- The page must be publicly accessible; URLs behind logins, paywalls, or IP restrictions cannot be fetched.
- Boilerplate such as navigation and footers is stripped so the output centers on the page’s content.
- For HTML source code you already have locally, use the Paste to Markdown tool instead; it runs entirely in your browser.
FAQs
Common questions
Can I paste HTML source code instead of a URL?
Use the Paste to Markdown tool for that. It converts raw HTML or rich clipboard content client-side, without the content leaving your browser. This tool is built around fetching a live page by its address.
How is this different from the Webpage to Markdown tool?
They share the same extraction engine. This page speaks to converting HTML content specifically; the webpage tool is framed around saving readable articles. Either will convert a public URL you give it.
What Markdown flavor does the output use?
Standard CommonMark-style syntax: # headings, - bullets, numbered lists, fenced code blocks, and inline links, which renders correctly on GitHub and virtually every Markdown system.
