Markdown converter

Convert HTML to Markdown

When this converter is useful

HTML files often contain more than the article or documentation page you want. A Markdown conversion should keep readable content and discard page chrome such as scripts, style rules, tracking snippets, navigation, and layout wrappers.

• Migrating article pages, docs pages, help-center exports, and saved web pages into Markdown.
• Cleaning HTML before importing content into a static site, CMS, repository, or knowledge base.
• Keeping links and tables in a simpler text-based format.

Limits to review

• JavaScript-rendered apps may not contain the final text in the source HTML file.
• Menus, cookie banners, repeated sidebars, and footers may still need manual removal.
• Relative links may need to be rewritten if the Markdown moves to another site.

Simple before and after example

Before

<nav>Products Pricing</nav>
<h1>Install guide</h1>
<p>Run the setup command.</p>
<script>...</script>

After Markdown

# Install guide

Run the setup command.

Review checklist

• Confirm the final article text is present in the HTML source.
• Review relative links and image paths after conversion.
• Remove repeated navigation or footer text that does not belong in the Markdown.
• Check tables and code examples in the final preview.

FAQ

Will scripts and CSS be kept?

No. Markdown is for readable content, not executable scripts or CSS-driven layout.

Can I convert a web app screen?

Only if the HTML file contains the content. JavaScript applications often need a rendered export rather than raw shell HTML.

Do links still work?

Many links can be preserved, but relative URLs should be reviewed when the Markdown will live somewhere else.
