Convert HTML to Markdown and Markdown back to HTML

Paste HTML copied from a webpage or CMS and get clean Markdown back for a README or blog post, with tables, code blocks, lists, and links all converting to their proper Markdown equivalents, or run the reverse direction to preview how Markdown renders or to embed it in an email template. It's also a decent way to clean up messy HTML from a rich text editor (stray spans, inline styles) before committing something to docs, since anything without a direct Markdown equivalent, like arbitrary `<div>` styling, either gets stripped or passed through as raw HTML. Round-tripping (HTML to Markdown and back to HTML) won't always reproduce identical output, since Markdown is a simpler format and some formatting nuance can get lost along the way. Conversion happens entirely client-side.

Frequently asked questions

Does it preserve tables and code blocks?
Yes, common structural elements like tables, code blocks, lists, and links convert to their Markdown equivalents.
What happens to HTML that has no Markdown equivalent, like `<div>` styling?
Elements without a direct Markdown equivalent are either stripped or passed through as raw HTML, since Markdown doesn't support arbitrary styling.
Is my content sent to a server for conversion?
No, conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Does round-tripping (HTML to MD to HTML) always produce identical output?
Not exactly — Markdown is a simpler format, so some formatting nuances (like specific inline styles) can be lost in the HTML-to-Markdown direction.
