Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this tool.
How does the HTML to Markdown converter work? ▼
The converter parses HTML DOM elements (`<h1>`–`<h6>`, `<p>`, `<ul>`, `<a>`, `<code>`, `<table>`) and converts them into standard GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) syntax.
Are HTML tables converted to Markdown tables? ▼
Yes! `<table>`, `<tr>`, `<th>`, and `<td>` elements are formatted into clean Markdown pipe tables (`| Col 1 | Col 2 |`).
Does the converter strip inline style and script tags? ▼
Yes. `<script>`, `<style>`, and inline CSS attributes are stripped to produce clean, security-audit-safe Markdown text.
Is my HTML data sent to any remote server? ▼
No! All parsing and conversion run 100% locally in your browser using DOMParser.
Can I convert blog posts and CMS content? ▼
Yes! Paste rich HTML content from WordPress, Medium, or Webflow to extract clean Markdown for static site generators like Astro or Next.js.
