Markdown is a plain-text format that is easier to write and read than HTML while still rendering as formatted content in most modern tools. Converting existing HTML content to Markdown is useful when migrating content into a static site generator, writing documentation on GitHub, or moving content into a Markdown-based CMS.
How this tool works: Conversion is powered by Turndown, a JavaScript library that walks the HTML DOM and maps each element to its Markdown equivalent. Headings become # syntax, bold becomes **text**, links become [text](url), and code blocks get fenced with triple backticks.
Limitations: HTML tables, complex CSS styles, forms, and scripts do not have Markdown equivalents and will be simplified or omitted. For tables, Turndown can be extended with a plugin — but for complex table-heavy documents, HTML may remain the better format.
