Can I paste a website URL instead of HTML?
No. This page converts pasted HTML and does not fetch web pages. Obtain the markup from your own CMS or document source, then paste it here. Only convert content you are allowed to reuse.
ConvertHTML to Markdown Converter
Turn HTML content into editable Markdown
Use Markdown to maintain web copy in documentation or a repository. Paste the actual HTML markup, rather than a website URL. The converter maps supported structure into Markdown; CSS styling, scripts, forms, and interactive behavior do not become Markdown features.
Input
HTML (.html)
Output
Markdown (.md)
Your converted content will appear here.
When to use HTML to Markdown
Use this converter to move HTML article content from a CMS into a Markdown document or repository. Paste the markup for the content you want to retain. Pasting a website address does not fetch that page or extract its article.
How to convert HTML to Markdown
- Copy the content’s HTML markup.
- Paste the markup into the input pane; URL fetching is not supported.
- Switch to raw Markdown to inspect the syntax.
- Copy or download the result and test it in your Markdown renderer.
What this converter supports
- Convert headings, lists, links, and code blocks
- Represent simple tables with GitHub-flavored Markdown
- Drop page styling and review the resulting document structure
Worked conversion example
The workspace starts with this sample. Replace it with your content to preview your own conversion.
Input
<h1>Project guide</h1><p>Read the <a href="https://www.quillaid.com/blog">writing guides</a>.</p><ul><li>Draft</li><li>Review</li></ul>
Converted text
# Project guide Read the [writing guides](https://www.quillaid.com/blog). - Draft - Review
The h1 becomes a # heading, the writing-guides anchor becomes a Markdown link with its URL, and the unordered list becomes two hyphenated items. The result is editable source text. The rendered preview helps with reading; raw Markdown shows the syntax to copy.
Check before using the result
Markdown preserves document structure rather than page appearance. CSS classes, scripts, forms, and interactive controls do not become equivalent Markdown features. Check nested lists, tables, and image references in your destination renderer; support differs between Markdown systems.
Common questions
Can I keep editing after conversion?
Open in Editor transfers the converted content to a new QuillAid document in this browser tab. It does not download a file first. You can edit locally, or sign in to save edits to your account.
