Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert HTML to Markdown?

Converting HTML to Markdown is useful when migrating content from websites to Markdown-based systems like GitHub, Jekyll, Hugo, or Obsidian. Markdown is easier to read, write, and version control.

What HTML elements are supported?

The converter handles most common HTML elements: headings, paragraphs, links, images, lists (ordered and unordered), bold, italic, code blocks, blockquotes, and tables.

Will complex HTML convert correctly?

Simple, semantic HTML converts best. Complex layouts with CSS styling, divs, or custom elements may not have direct Markdown equivalents and might need manual adjustment.

Is my HTML content secure?

Yes, all conversion happens locally in your browser. Your HTML content is never uploaded to any server.

Can I preview the Markdown output?

Yes, our tool provides a live preview showing the Markdown output as you paste or type HTML.
