What the HTML to Markdown Converter Does and Why It Matters
This tool converts HTML into clean Markdown, mapping headings, lists, links, tables, and emphasis to their Markdown equivalents. Paste a block of HTML and get back portable, readable Markdown.
Markdown is the lingua franca of README files, documentation sites, wikis, and many CMS editors. Converting existing HTML saves you from rewriting content by hand when you move it into a Markdown-based workflow.

Known limitations
Markdown is simpler than HTML, so complex layouts, inline styles, and scripts cannot be represented.
Unusual or deeply nested markup may need manual cleanup after conversion.
Embedded HTML may be passed through where Markdown has no equivalent.
Privacy and Security
Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so the HTML you paste is never sent to NovaTools and nothing is stored. You can convert internal or unpublished content safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will all my HTML convert perfectly?
Standard content elements convert cleanly. Because Markdown is intentionally simpler than HTML, complex layouts, inline styles, and scripts cannot be represented and may be dropped or passed through as raw HTML.
Does it support tables?
Yes. HTML tables are converted to Markdown table syntax, though very complex tables with merged cells may need manual adjustment.
Is my content uploaded?
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser, so even unpublished content stays on your device.
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that's easy to read and write. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for web pages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert HTML to Markdown?
Markdown is more readable and portable than HTML. It's widely used for documentation, README files, blog posts, and content management systems. Converting HTML to Markdown makes content easier to edit and maintain.
Is my HTML code kept private?
Yes, completely. All conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. No HTML content is ever transmitted to any server or stored anywhere.
Does it support all HTML elements?
The converter handles common HTML elements used in content. Complex layouts, inline styles, scripts, and some semantic elements may not convert perfectly. The tool focuses on content structure rather than presentation.
HTML to Markdown conversion is not always perfect, especially with complex nested elements or heavy styling. The converter attempts to preserve the semantic structure. You may need to manually adjust the output for best results.
