FAQ
What HTML elements are supported?
Headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, lists (ordered and unordered), code blocks, blockquotes, tables, and horizontal rules.
Is my data private?
Yes, all conversion happens in your browser. No HTML content is sent to any server.
Can it handle complex nested HTML?
The converter handles most common HTML structures including nested lists, blockquotes, and tables with inline formatting. Very deeply nested or unusual markup (custom web components, MathML, deeply chained spans) may require minor manual adjustments after conversion.
Will my Markdown work on GitHub and other platforms?
Yes, the output uses GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) — including pipe-style tables, fenced code blocks with language hints, and ~~strikethrough~~. It also renders cleanly in popular tools like Obsidian, Notion imports, Hugo, Jekyll, and most static site generators.
Are images and links preserved during conversion?
Yes, <a> tags become [text](url) links and <img> tags become  image references with their alt text intact. Relative URLs are kept as-is, so you may need to rewrite paths if you are migrating from a CMS to a Markdown repo.
How are inline styles and CSS classes handled?
Inline CSS, class attributes, and style tags are stripped because Markdown does not have a direct equivalent. Common semantic styling like <strong>, <em>, and <code> is converted to **bold**, *italic*, and `code` syntax, while purely visual <span style="color:red"> wrappers are removed.
Why convert HTML to Markdown at all?
Markdown is plain text, version-control-friendly, and renders consistently across documentation platforms, README files, and static site generators. Converting from HTML lets you migrate legacy WordPress/CMS content into modern Git-based workflows like MDX, Hugo, or GitBook.
Is the converter free and offline-capable?
Yes, the tool is completely free with no usage limits and runs entirely in your browser. Once the page loads it works offline — your HTML is never uploaded, which is important when converting confidential or unpublished content.
