HTML to Markdown converter - pure .md syntax from HTML code

Markdown is a lighter format than HTML - perfect for README, documentation and CMS. Converting HTML to Markdown manually is tedious. The tool parses the DOM tree and translates HTML elements into their corresponding Markdown syntax (CommonMark or GitHub Flavored Markdown).

HTML element mapping to Markdown

Headers <h1>–<h6>→ # to ######.<strong>/<b>→ **text**.<em>/<i>→ *text*.<a href="url">→ [text](url).<img>→ ![description](url).<ul><li>→ - element.<ol><li>→ 1st item.<code>→ `code`.<pre><code>→ ```language\ncode\n```.<blockquote>→ > quote.<hr>→ --- (three dashes).

HTML tables on Markdown

→ GFM table (GitHub Flavored Markdown): | Column 1 | Column 2 | / | --- | --- | / | value | value |. Note: CommonMark does not support tables natively - only GFM. Option in tool: select standard (CommonMark / GFM / MDX).

Which doesn't convert perfectly

Inline CSS styles: lost (Markdown has no styles). <div>, <span>: skipped (have no MD equivalent). Nested tables: flattened. <iframe>: saved as HTML (fallback). Class/id attributes: lost (Markdown is semantically flat). Complex multi-column layouts: reduced to a linear structure.</p></div><div class="card-soft"><h2>Markdown flavors - differences</h2><p>CommonMark (spec.commonmark.org): basic standard, no tables, no tasks. GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown): tables, task lists (- [x]), ~~strikethrough~~, auto-links. MDX: Markdown + JSX (React) – component documents. MyST (Sphinx): Markdown for Python documentation. The tool supports GFM as default.</p></div></div><h2>FAQ</h2><details><summary>How to convert an entire WordPress post to Markdown?</summary><p>Export the post as HTML (WordPress Export or Source View).

Used by Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, Obsidian, Eleventy. Example: ---\ntitle: "Article"\ndate: 2024-01-01\ntags: [seo, web]\n---.
