About this tool

Moving content from a website, a CMS or a rich-text editor into Markdown-based tools such as documentation sites, wikis, static site generators or note apps usually means converting HTML by hand. This converter does it automatically, turning headings, paragraphs, emphasis, links, images, lists, quotes and code into their Markdown equivalents.

It goes beyond the basics. HTML tables become Markdown tables, struck-through text becomes ~~strikethrough~~, and checkboxes in lists become task-list items. Scripts, styles, embedded frames and other non-content markup are removed, and for a complete saved web page you can convert just the body.

Reference-style links keep long paragraphs readable by moving web addresses to a numbered list at the end. The core conversion uses the open-source Turndown library, with the extra rules for tables and checklists added for this tool.
