No, all conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML code never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

This tool converts HTML to Markdown only. For the reverse conversion, you can use our Markdown to HTML converter tool.

HTML is a full markup language with tags and attributes, while Markdown is a lightweight markup language designed for readability. Markdown is easier to write and read, making it popular for documentation, README files, and content management systems.

Yes, the converter supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) features including tables, strikethrough text, task lists, and fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting markers.

HTML tables are converted to Markdown table syntax using pipes (|) and hyphens (-) for the header separator. Complex tables with rowspan or colspan are flattened to maintain compatibility.

Inline CSS styles are generally ignored since Markdown does not support styling. However, some HTML attributes like alignment may be preserved where the Markdown variant supports it.

Yes, you can paste complete HTML documents. The converter will extract the meaningful content from the body and convert it to Markdown, ignoring scripts, styles, and metadata.

The converter works entirely in your browser, so the limit depends on your device's memory. For best performance, we recommend converting HTML files under 10MB.

Images are converted to Markdown image syntax . The alt text is preserved from the HTML alt attribute. The image URL is kept as-is, whether relative or absolute.

Yes, the converter handles messy, real-world HTML including redundant tags, inconsistent formatting, and extra whitespace. It produces clean, well-formatted Markdown output.

The converter supports all Unicode characters, so content in any language including Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and emoji will be correctly preserved in the Markdown output.

Once the page is loaded, the conversion works entirely offline in your browser. No internet connection is needed for the actual conversion process.
