Markdown was created by John Gruber in 2004 as a lightweight plain-text format that reads naturally while still being convertible to HTML. HTML, by contrast, is verbose and interleaves content with structural tags, making it difficult to read or edit directly in a text editor or version control diff.

Technical documentation systems like GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Obsidian, and static site generators such as Jekyll and Hugo all store content as Markdown. Teams migrating from WordPress, Confluence, or legacy CMS platforms regularly need to convert existing HTML pages into Markdown to import them into these modern tools.

This tool uses the turndown JavaScript library, which traverses the HTML DOM and maps each element to its Markdown equivalent — headings, bold, italic, links, images, code blocks, tables, and lists. Conversion runs entirely in the browser; no HTML is sent to any server.

Common Use Cases

Migrating WordPress content to Jekyll

Jekyll and Hugo sites store posts as Markdown files. Exporting WordPress posts produces HTML blobs; pasting each post's HTML here and copying the Markdown output is the fastest way to populate a _posts/ directory without installing Python migration scripts or WordPress plugins.

Importing Confluence pages into Notion

Confluence exports pages as HTML files. Notion's import accepts Markdown but not raw HTML. Converting each exported page through this tool before importing into Notion preserves headings, bullet lists, and inline code that would otherwise require manual reformatting.

Cleaning email newsletters for documentation

Marketing teams often maintain product announcement copy in email HTML templates laden with inline styles and table layouts. Stripping those to Markdown via this tool extracts the readable prose, which can then be committed to a docs repository or pasted into a README.

Preparing Stack Overflow answers for README files

Stack Overflow renders answers as HTML in the browser. Developers frequently copy a well-written answer into a project README. Converting the page's HTML source to Markdown preserves code blocks with language hints and numbered steps that copy-paste as plain text would destroy.
