Convert Markdown to HTML (and Back) — Free Online Tool
Markdown to HTML Conversion
The Markdown to HTML converter takes your Markdown source and produces clean, semantic HTML. Paste your Markdown on the left, see the rendered HTML on the right. Copy the HTML output for use in emails, CMS platforms, or web pages that don't support Markdown natively.
HTML to Markdown Conversion
Going the other direction, the HTML to Markdown converter takes HTML code and produces readable Markdown. This is invaluable when migrating content from WordPress, Blogger, or any HTML-based CMS to a Markdown-based system like Hugo, Jekyll, or Docusaurus.
Common Use Cases
**Email newsletters:** Write in Markdown, convert to HTML for email clients. **Blog migration:** Convert WordPress HTML exports to Markdown for static site generators. **Documentation:** Convert legacy HTML docs to Markdown for GitHub wikis. **Content repurposing:** Transform web articles into Markdown for note-taking apps like Obsidian or Notion.
What Gets Converted
The converter handles: headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold/italic, links, images, ordered/unordered lists, code blocks with language detection, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and tables. Complex HTML (forms, scripts, custom elements) is stripped to keep the Markdown clean and readable.
Tips for Clean Conversion
For best results when converting HTML to Markdown: remove inline styles first (they don't translate to Markdown), ensure images have alt text, use semantic HTML tags (h1-h6, p, ul, ol rather than divs with classes), and check the output for any formatting issues. The live preview makes it easy to spot and fix problems.
