HTML to Markdown Converter
Convert common HTML into Markdown.
How to use HTML to Markdown Converter
Turn a subset of HTML (headings, lists, links, emphasis, code) into Markdown text.
Open HTML to Markdown Converter on toolpermarket, then enter the values you want to work with.
In the HTML field, paste the HTML subset (headings, lists, links, emphasis, code) to convert. Inline styles and scripts are stripped; only the structural tags are mapped.
Press Convert to compute the result. The output appears immediately below the form. Tweak any field and run it again to check a different scenario.
Read the result and use it as needed. If the number looks off, re-check your inputs and run it again — the math is deterministic, so the same entries always return the same answer.
Worked example. Paste <h1>Title</h1><p>Hello <strong>world</strong></p> and get "# Title" followed by a paragraph with bold text.
Tips for accurate results.
Headings h1-h3 become #, ##, ###.
Unordered lists turn into "- " lines and ordered lists into "1. " lines.
Links become [text](url) and bold/italic become ** / single asterisks.
When to use HTML to Markdown Converter. Moving CMS content into a Markdown-based docs site. Turning a rich-text export into plain prose. Preparing email or note content for a Markdown renderer.
When you actually reach for this
- You need to paste web content into a docs repo, README, or note app that speaks Markdown.
- You are migrating old HTML pages into a Markdown-based CMS.
Where this tool stops being accurate
- Complex layouts, tables, and embedded widgets lose fidelity; only semantic structure (headings, lists, links) converts reliably.
- Inline styles and classes are dropped, so deliberately styled HTML will look plain in Markdown.
Frequently asked questions
Which HTML tags are supported?
A practical subset: headings, paragraphs, unordered and ordered lists, links, bold, italic, inline code, and line breaks. Tables and complex layouts are not converted.
What happens to unknown tags?
Tags outside the supported set are stripped and their text is kept, so the visible words survive even if the formatting does not.
Are attributes preserved?
Only the href on links is carried over as a URL; other attributes such as classes or styles are dropped during the conversion.
My table came out as a code block — can I fix it?
Complex or malformed tables often fall back to a code block. Simplify the source table or hand-tune the Markdown after conversion.
Why did my <div> layout turn into one paragraph?
Markdown has no concept of div layouts; block-level semantics become paragraphs/lists, and purely presentational divs are discarded.
