About converting HTML to MD
Use this free HTML to MD converter to change HTML pages into MD without uploading anything, installing software or signing up. HTML is the markup language browsers render natively, describing document structure through nested tags rather than fixed page geometry. Markdown is a lightweight plain-text syntax that stays human-readable in its raw form while converting cleanly to formatted output, which is why it dominates READMEs and technical notes.
Converting HTML to MD is usually about matching the tool at the other end - one format is built to be edited, the other to be read exactly as laid out, and you rarely want the same one for both jobs.
Because every conversion runs on your own device through WebAssembly builds of the same open-source engines desktop tools use, there is no upload queue, no file-size cap imposed by a server, and no copy of your HTML sitting in someone else's storage afterwards. That matters most for anything you would hesitate to hand to a third party - identity documents, contracts, medical scans, unreleased work, client material. It also means the converter keeps working with no network connection at all once the page has loaded.
HTML to MD is one of many routes available here. If a direct path between two formats does not exist, the converter automatically chains several conversions together to reach the one you asked for, so you can get from almost any input to almost any output in a single step.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this HTML to MD converter free?
- Yes, completely. There is no charge, no account, no watermark on the output and no daily conversion limit.
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your HTML file never leaves your device and nothing is stored anywhere after you close the tab.
- Is there a file size limit for HTML to MD conversion?
- There is no server-imposed limit, because there is no server involved. The practical ceiling is your own device's available memory, so very large files convert faster on a desktop than on a phone.
- Does converting HTML to MD reduce quality?
- MD output preserves the content of your HTML file. Formatting fidelity depends on how closely the two formats can represent the same structures - features one format supports and the other has no equivalent for cannot be carried across.
