HTML to Markdown converter
Paste HTML or open a .html file, and get Markdown back. Headings, lists, links, images, quotes and code come across. Copy the Markdown or save it as a .md file. It is free and runs in your browser.
Your file stays on your computer. The conversion runs in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged.

HTML to Markdown conversion turns the tags of a web page into the plain-text marks Markdown uses, such as a # for a heading or ** around bold text, and leaves out scripts, styles and layout.
How to convert HTML to Markdown
- Paste your HTML in the box, or choose Open a .html file, or drop the file on the box.
- Check the Markdown and the preview under it. They change as you edit the HTML.
- Choose Copy Markdown, or Save as .md. Your browser saves the file.
- Open the .md file in any Markdown reader or editor.

Questions
Is my file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser on your own computer. The page sends nothing about your file anywhere, and nothing is stored or logged.
Is the HTML to Markdown converter free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no limit on how many files you convert.
What does it keep from the HTML?
Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, bullet and numbered lists, quotes, code, links and images. Colors, fonts and page layout are left out, because Markdown has no place for them.
Does it run the scripts in my HTML?
No. Scripts, styles, form fields, buttons and comments are left out, and the page reads the HTML without running any of it. Images and links are never loaded.
What happens to images and links?
An image keeps its description and its address. A picture stored inside the HTML itself becomes a short [image] note, so the Markdown stays small. A link keeps its text and address, and a link that would run code keeps only its text.
Is there a size limit?
Yes. HTML over 1 MB is refused. The conversion runs in this tab, and a larger file could slow the page down.
What is Sashmark?
A Markdown reader and editor for macOS, Windows and Linux, in development, at a planned $14.99 one-time.
