Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
- 1Paste the HTML into the box (a full page or just a fragment).
- 2Read the Markdown that appears below it.
- 3Copy it, or download it as a .md file.
Input: <h2>Our story</h2><p>We make <em>small-batch</em> soap. Read <a href="/process">how it is made</a>.</p> Output: ## Our story We make _small-batch_ soap. Read [how it is made](/process).
- Conversion uses ATX headings (# style), fenced code blocks and hyphen bullets; emphasis uses underscores, as in _small-batch_.
- Elements Markdown cannot express (complex table layouts, forms, styled divs) are simplified or dropped, keeping their text where possible.
- Scripts and styles in pasted HTML are not carried into the output.
No. The HTML is parsed as text in your browser and converted locally. Nothing is uploaded and no script in it runs.
About this tool
The HTML to Markdown Converter turns pasted HTML into clean Markdown using the Turndown library: headings, emphasis, links, lists, code blocks and tables become their Markdown equivalents. It is the quick way to move web content into a Markdown-based CMS, a notes app, a README or an AI writing workflow.
