HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages, using tags like <h1>, <p>, <a>, and <strong> to structure content. Markdown is a lightweight plain text format that achieves similar structure with a much simpler syntax -- # Heading, **bold**, [link](url). Converting between these two formats is a common task for developers, technical writers, and content creators.
Markdown is easier to read and write than raw HTML, making it the preferred format for documentation, README files, blog posts, and notes. If you have existing HTML content -- from a web page, CMS export, or email template -- converting it to Markdown makes it portable, version-control friendly, and easier to maintain. Markdown files work seamlessly with Git, static site generators like Jekyll and Hugo, and documentation platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Notion.
Paste your HTML into the input pane on the left, and the tool converts it to clean Markdown in real time. The converter uses the browser's built-in DOMParser to parse the HTML into a document tree, then recursively walks each node to produce the equivalent Markdown syntax. Inline styles are stripped, empty elements are skipped, and nested structures like lists within lists are handled with proper indentation. You can also switch to Markdown-to-HTML mode to go the other direction.
