Markdown output will appear here…From web markup back to clean text
Copying content out of a web page usually drags along nested divs, inline styles, and class soup. This converter reduces HTML to the underlying structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, code, and tables — and emits tidy Markdown you can paste anywhere.
Great for migrations and documentation
Moving a blog to a static-site generator, turning a help-center article into a README, or archiving a page as plain text all start with the same step: getting clean Markdown out of HTML. This tool does that in one paste, preserving the meaningful structure and dropping the presentational cruft.
Turn a webpage into LLM-ready Markdown
Markdown is the format language models read best, which is why converting a webpage to Markdown has become a standard step in AI workflows: feeding docs to a coding assistant, building a knowledge base, or preparing context for a prompt. View the page's source, copy the HTML, and paste it here for a clean Markdown version with the nav and footer noise stripped away.
Runs locally
Conversion happens in your browser. No HTML is sent to a server, so it's safe for internal pages, gated content, and unpublished drafts.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, the converter handles messy, real-world HTML. It parses the document and keeps the structural elements (headings, lists, links, images, code, tables) while discarding wrapper divs, inline styles, and scripts.
Semantic formatting carries over: bold, italics, headings, lists, blockquotes, code, and links. Purely visual styling like colors, fonts, and spacing is dropped on purpose, since Markdown describes structure rather than presentation.
Yes, the tool is private. Everything runs in your browser, and your HTML is never uploaded or stored.
No hard limit applies, though very large documents convert fastest when pasted in sections.
Yes, HTML tables convert to Markdown pipe tables, with header rows preserved. Complex tables with merged cells flatten to the closest simple-table equivalent, since Markdown has no colspan or rowspan.
