Why Use This Tool?
Is my HTML content uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely client-side using a JavaScript conversion library loaded in your browser. Your HTML is never transmitted to a server, logged, or saved — it exists only in your browser tab and disappears when you close or refresh the page.
What HTML elements convert cleanly to Markdown?
Headings, paragraphs, bold/italic text, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, inline code and fenced code blocks all convert reliably to their Markdown equivalents. Complex layout elements like tables, nested divs used purely for styling, and inline CSS don't have a true Markdown equivalent, so they are simplified or stripped during conversion.
Why would I convert HTML back to Markdown?
Many teams migrate content from a WYSIWYG CMS or exported web page into a Markdown-based documentation system, static site generator (like Jekyll, Hugo or Next.js MDX) or a Git-based wiki. Converting existing HTML content to Markdown saves you from manually rewriting every page by hand.
Will the output need any manual cleanup?
For simple, semantic HTML the output is usually ready to use as-is. Markup exported from complex page builders or word processors sometimes carries extra nested tags or inline styles that don't map to Markdown; in those cases a quick manual pass over the result is recommended before publishing.
