HTML to Markdown Converter

Convert semantic HTML without stripping meaning

A tag stripper loses headings, links, emphasis, and list structure, while Markdown can preserve those semantics in a simpler source format. This converter first parses HTML into a node tree, then serializes headings, paragraphs, strong and emphasized text, links, images, inline code, fenced code blocks, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, breaks, and horizontal rules.

The default fragment becomes a level-one Hello heading followed by a sentence containing bold text and a Markdown link to example.com. Text nodes are entity-decoded, nested inline elements are handled recursively, and extra blank lines are normalized after block conversion. Malformed or mismatched tags return a parse error instead of unpredictable text.

Supported elements and deliberate limits

HTML features without a direct Markdown equivalent, such as layout containers and arbitrary attributes, keep their readable child content but not their styling. Complex tables, embedded media, and scripts should be reviewed manually. The transformation happens entirely in your browser, which keeps unpublished CMS content local. Use semantic source HTML for the cleanest output and inspect any custom components afterward.
