Frequently Asked Questions

What HTML tags are supported for conversion?

∨
Our converter supports: headings (h1-h6), paragraphs (p), links (a), images (img), bold/strong (b, strong), italic/emphasis (i, em), code (code, pre), lists (ul, ol, li), blockquotes (blockquote), horizontal rules (hr), line breaks (br), and tables (table, thead, tbody, tr, th, td). Unsupported tags are stripped but their inner text is preserved.

Is my HTML data sent to a server?

∨
No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML data never leaves your device, is never transmitted over the network, and is never stored anywhere.

How are HTML tables converted?

∨
HTML tables are converted to Markdown pipe tables. The first row becomes the header, separated by a dashed separator row. Each subsequent row becomes a data row. This format is widely supported by most Markdown parsers.

What does 'Preserve links' option do?

∨
When enabled, anchor tags (<a>) are converted to Markdown link syntax [text](url). When disabled, links are stripped and only the visible link text is kept. This is useful when you want plain text without hyperlinks.

What does 'Escape Markdown characters' do?

∨
When enabled, special Markdown characters like *, _, [, ], (, ), #, +, -, ., !, and \ are escaped with backslashes. This prevents them from being interpreted as Markdown formatting in the output.

Can I convert a full web page to Markdown?

∨
Yes, you can paste the full HTML of any web page. The converter will process all supported elements. However, complex layouts with CSS-dependent formatting may not convert perfectly. For best results, copy the main content area of the page.

Does this tool handle inline CSS and JavaScript?

∨
Inline CSS and JavaScript are not converted to Markdown. They are treated as unsupported tags and stripped, though their inner text content is preserved. For a cleaner result, consider removing script and style elements before conversion.

What is the maximum input size?

∨
There is no strict limit, but very large HTML documents (over 100,000 characters) may cause slower conversion. For best performance, convert large documents in sections. All processing happens client-side, so performance depends on your device.

How are HTML lists converted to Markdown?

∨
Unordered lists (<ul>) become Markdown bullet lists with -, *, or +. Ordered lists (<ol>) become numbered lists with 1., 2., 3. Nested lists are preserved with proper indentation. List items with multiple paragraphs are handled correctly. The converter maintains the list hierarchy so complex nested lists remain readable.

How are links and images handled?

∨
With 'Preserve Links' enabled: <a href='url'>text</a> becomes [text](url) and <img src='url' alt='text'> becomes ![text](url). With it disabled, only the visible text is kept. Image alt text becomes the Markdown image's alt text. Relative URLs in href and src attributes are preserved as-is.

Can I convert a full HTML document including <head> and <style>?

∨
Yes, you can paste full HTML documents. The converter extracts content from <body> and converts visible elements. <head>, <style>, <script>, and <meta> tags are stripped as they don't have Markdown equivalents. For best results, copy the main content area of the page rather than the full document markup.
