HTML to MD Converter

Convert saved HTML files into Markdown structure

HTML files contain both content and presentation markup. Markdown is simpler: headings, paragraphs, links, lists, code blocks, and tables where the structure is clear. This converter strips away page markup that does not belong in an editable Markdown draft.

HTML to Markdown is useful for static site migrations, exported blog posts, saved documentation pages, help center cleanup, and old content archives. If the page is still online and public, the URL converter may be a better first step because it can fetch the live page directly.

HTML to MD workflow

1. Upload a saved .html or .htm file.
2. DocToMD extracts readable structure such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, code-like text, and simple tables.
3. Review navigation fragments, scripts, layout wrappers, and any table output before publishing.
4. Copy the Markdown or download the converted content as an .md file.

• Complex layout HTML is simplified

When to use HTML to Markdown

Use HTML to Markdown when the source is a local .html or .htm file, especially for exported articles, static pages, help documents, and archived web content.

Use URL to Markdown for a live public webpage, because the URL workflow can fetch the page directly before extracting readable content.

Choose HTML or URL conversion by source

Use HTML to MD for saved files. Use Website to MD or URL to Markdown for public pages that are still available online.
