HTML to Markdown Converter

Why Convert HTML to Markdown?

Markdown is simpler, more readable, and easier to maintain than HTML. Converting HTML to Markdown is essential when:

• Migrating Content: Moving from WordPress, Medium, or other HTML-based platforms to Markdown
• Simplifying Code: Reducing complex HTML to clean, readable Markdown
• Documentation: Converting HTML documentation to Markdown for tools like MkDocs or Docusaurus
• Version Control: Making content easier to track with Git
• Static Sites: Preparing content for Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, or Next.js
• Content Editing: Making content easier to edit without HTML knowledge

Supported HTML Elements

How the Conversion Works

Our converter uses Turndown.js, a powerful HTML-to-Markdown library:

1. Your HTML is parsed into a DOM tree
2. Each HTML element is mapped to its Markdown equivalent
3. Nested structures (like lists within lists) are properly handled
4. The result is clean, valid Markdown that follows CommonMark standards
5. Conversion happens instantly as you type (real-time processing)

Common Use Cases

• WordPress to Markdown: Migrate blog posts from WordPress to static site generators
• Medium Export: Convert Medium articles to Markdown for your own blog
• Email to Docs: Convert HTML emails to Markdown documentation
• CMS Migration: Move content from HTML-based CMSs to Markdown systems
• Web Scraping: Convert scraped HTML content to readable Markdown
• README Creation: Transform HTML documentation into GitHub-friendly Markdown
