Convert HTML to Markdown (Clean, Pasteable Text)
HTML is what browsers render; Markdown is what people write. When you need to move content out of a web page and into a document or a repository, converting HTML to Markdown gives you text you can actually edit.
What HTML to Markdown is for
Copying from a web page usually drags along fonts, divs and inline styles. Converting the HTML first produces clean Markdown with only meaningful structure, which is ideal for docs, issue trackers and CMS fields.
How the conversion works
The tool parses the HTML, walks the element tree and rewrites each element in Markdown: headings become #, links become [text](url), and tables become pipe tables. Scripts and styles are discarded entirely.
Convert with Convert.rest
Paste the HTML into the HTML to Markdown tool and convert. The result appears instantly as Markdown you can copy or download. The whole operation runs in your browser, so no page content is transmitted.
Handling messy markup
Real-world HTML often contains nested wrappers and empty elements. The converter flattens harmless noise, but you may still want to remove navigation or boilerplate before pasting so the Markdown stays focused.
A safety note
Script and style content is stripped rather than copied, so converting an untrusted page never carries executable code into your Markdown.
