How do I convert an HTML file to Markdown?

Paste your HTML code or upload a .html file, choose any advanced options like batch processing or table preservation, then click 'Convert'. The tool will instantly generate a .md file with clean Markdown syntax that you can download or copy.

Why should I use Markdown instead of HTML?

Markdown is a lightweight plain-text format that is easier to read and edit than HTML. It produces smaller file sizes, integrates seamlessly with version control systems, and is supported across documentation platforms, static site generators, and code repositories.

How does the HTML to MD conversion handle tables, images, and inline styles?

Headings, links, images, lists, and code blocks are converted to their Markdown equivalents. Inline styles, classes, and IDs are omitted because Markdown has no CSS support. Tables are converted to pipe-based Markdown tables, but nested or complex tables may be simplified for readability.
