Recover readable Markdown from HTML, then take a clean, readable result into your next workflow. Use it in your browser with no account.

How to use

Paste or import the HTML code you want to transform, making sure to include useful headings, paragraphs and links.

Review the Markdown output and check headings, lists, links and emphasis that matter for your publication.

Example

A writer who receives an article in HTML can convert it to Markdown before placing it in a documentation repository. Checking headings and links afterward helps keep the structure clean.

Limits and formats

Complex layouts, rich tables or interactive components may lose part of their structure.
The conversion does not download images or remote assets; those references must be checked separately.
The resulting Markdown needs review, because some HTML attributes have no direct equivalent and may disappear.

Where processing happens

The transformation happens entirely in your browser. The HTML you paste or import stays on your device and is not sent anywhere.
