HTML to Markdown

HTML to Markdown works on a small tag subset and strips the rest

This page is for turning simple HTML snippets into readable Markdown-style text when the goal is quick cleanup rather than full document fidelity. It is useful for notes, lightweight CMS snippets, and copied content that only uses a few common tags.

The current converter understands h1 to h3, strong, b, em, i, code, links, and line breaks. Other tags are stripped rather than mapped into richer Markdown structures.

What the current HTML to Markdown page actually returns

The tool applies a simple series of tag replacements and then removes any remaining markup. That makes it practical for readable cleanup of basic snippets, but it is not a DOM-aware HTML-to-Markdown engine.

ExampleValue
InputA short HTML snippet using only common headings, emphasis, code, links, and line breaks.
OutputA Markdown-like text result with unsupported tags stripped away.

Where HTML to Markdown helps

  • Cleaning small HTML snippets into readable plain text with light Markdown markers.
  • Recovering content from pasted HTML before editing it in a text-first workflow.
  • Checking whether a snippet is simple enough for a lightweight tag-to-Markdown pass.

What this page will not preserve

If the source HTML depends on lists, tables, nested structures, custom attributes, or richer document semantics, this page is too limited. It is a quick html to markdown cleanup tool, not a full fidelity converter.

Related routes

  • Markdown to HTML: go back to simple HTML after editing the Markdown-like output.
  • HTML Decode: decode entity text before or after cleanup when needed.
  • Text to Slug: create URL-style text once the readable content is stripped down.
  • JSON to Markdown Table: generate Markdown table output from structured data instead of HTML.
