Question 1

How does the HTML to Markdown converter work?

Accepted Answer

The converter uses Turndown, a robust HTML-to-Markdown library, to parse your HTML and produce clean Markdown. It handles headings, lists, tables, code blocks, links, images, and more -- all processed in your browser.

Question 2

Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The converter includes the GFM plugin, so it correctly handles tables, strikethrough, task lists, and other GitHub-specific Markdown extensions.

Question 3

Is my HTML data safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All conversion happens client-side in your browser. Your HTML is never sent to any server, making it safe for sensitive or proprietary content.

Question 4

Can I convert a full webpage's HTML?

Accepted Answer

You can paste any HTML source code and it will be converted. For converting a live webpage by URL, use our URL to Markdown tool instead, which fetches and extracts the main content automatically.

Question 5

What HTML elements are supported?

Accepted Answer

The converter supports headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold, italic, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, code blocks, inline code, tables, horizontal rules, and more.
