Clean Markdown from any HTML
Moving content into a static site, a GitHub README, Notion or an AI prompt? Paste HTML source and get Markdown back: headings, bold and italic, links, images, ordered and nested lists, blockquotes, code blocks and tables in GitHub format. Scripts, styles and tracking markup are dropped.
You don't even need the HTML source. Click the paste formatted text box and press Ctrl+V after copying from a web page, Google Docs or Microsoft Word — the converter reads the rich formatting from your clipboard and even understands the unusual markup Google Docs uses for bold and italic text.
