HTML to Markdown Converter
Paste formatted text from any web page, doc, or email, or paste HTML source, and get clean markdown back.
How to Use This Tool
Copy content
Copy from a web page, Google Docs, Word, Notion, or an email.
Paste here
Paste into the formatted text box, or switch to HTML source.
Copy markdown
Copy the markdown or download it as a .md file.
Cleaner Than Copy and Paste
Text copied from Google Docs, Word, and web pages carries a lot of hidden markup: wrapper spans, inline font declarations, Office namespaces, and empty paragraphs. This converter strips all of it and keeps only the structure that matters.
- Bold and italic set through inline styles become
**and*. - Tables without a header row get their first row promoted to the header.
- Code blocks keep their language when the HTML names one.
- Checkbox lists become
- [x]task items.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a web page or URL to markdown?
Open the page, select the part you want, copy it, then click the "Paste formatted text" box here and paste. The browser hands over the HTML behind your selection and it is converted to markdown immediately. There is no URL box because browsers block one site from reading another, and copying a selection skips the menus, ads, and footers anyway.
How do I convert Google Docs to markdown?
Copy from Google Docs and paste into the formatted text box. Headings, bold, italics, links, lists, and tables convert, and the wrapper markup Google Docs adds to the clipboard is removed. For a whole .docx file, use the Word to Markdown converter.
How do I convert rich text to markdown?
Copy the formatted text from any app, whether Word, Notion, Apple Notes, an email, or a web page, and paste it into the formatted text box. Rich text reaches the clipboard as HTML, so the same converter handles all of it.
Can I paste raw HTML source?
Yes. Switch to the HTML source tab and paste or type HTML. The markdown updates as you type.
Which markdown flavor is produced?
GitHub Flavored Markdown: ATX headings (#), dash bullets, fenced code blocks with languages, pipe tables, ~~strikethrough~~, and [x] task lists. It renders on GitHub, GitLab, Obsidian, Notion, and most static site generators.
Why would I want markdown instead of HTML?
Markdown is easier to read, diff, and edit, and it is the format that AI assistants handle best. Converting a page to markdown before pasting it into ChatGPT or Claude uses fewer tokens and keeps the structure.
Is the pasted content uploaded?
No. Conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
