Free Online Markdown Converter

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses plain text formatting syntax that converts to structurally valid HTML. Markdown is widely used for README files, documentation, blogs, forums, and static site generators because it's easy to read and write while remaining portable across platforms. Major platforms like GitHub, GitLab, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and Discord all support Markdown formatting.

Select "HTML" as the input format, paste your HTML code into the input box, and click "Convert to Markdown". Our converter handles common HTML elements including headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold/italic text, links, images, code blocks, and both ordered and unordered lists. The output preserves the document structure while removing HTML tags.

Yes, our tool converts CSV (comma-separated values) data into properly formatted Markdown tables. The first row of your CSV becomes the table header, and all subsequent rows become table data. The converter automatically adds the required pipe characters and header separator line that Markdown tables need.

CommonMark is a standardized specification for Markdown that resolves ambiguities in the original syntax. GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extends CommonMark with additional features like tables, task lists, strikethrough text, autolinks, and syntax highlighting in fenced code blocks. Our converter produces Markdown compatible with both specifications.

Yes, all conversions happen directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your content is never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. This client-side processing means your data stays private and secure on your device.

You can upload files with the following extensions: .txt (plain text), .html (HTML documents), .json (JSON data), .csv (comma-separated values), .xml (XML documents), and .rtf (Rich Text Format). The tool automatically detects the file type based on the extension and selects the appropriate conversion method.
