Convert HTML to Markdown

Paste HTML — a snippet or a whole page — and get readable Markdown. Headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, blockquotes, tables, code blocks and horizontal rules are converted; scripts and styles are dropped; anything unrecognized keeps its text so no words are lost. Nothing is uploaded to Filesvo.

How to use Filesvo

  1. Paste your HTML into the box, or upload an .html file.
  2. Click Convert to Markdown.
  3. Copy the result or download it as a .md file.

How the conversion works

The HTML is parsed by your browser's own HTML engine in an inert document — scripts in the input never execute. The converter then walks the document and writes GitHub-style Markdown: h1–h6 become # headings, <strong> and <em> become ** and *, <pre><code> becomes a fenced block (keeping the language class), <table> becomes a pipe table, and so on.

Elements with no Markdown equivalent — divs, spans, custom tags — contribute their text content rather than disappearing, so the output may need light editing for heavily styled pages, but it will contain all your words. Presentation-only markup (colors, fonts, layout) has no Markdown form and is dropped, which is the point of the format.

Private by design

Your files are processed directly in your browser using open-source engines that run in your browser and are not uploaded to Filesvo. Nothing is stored on our servers, because nothing ever reaches them.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to paste HTML from an untrusted page?
Yes. The input is parsed into an inert document — scripts never run — and the output is plain Markdown text.
What happens to CSS classes and inline styles?
They are dropped. Markdown has no way to express presentation — that is what makes it portable. The text, structure, links and images all survive.
Are tables converted?
Yes — to GitHub-style pipe tables. Note that Markdown tables cannot contain multi-paragraph cells or merged cells, so complex tables come out flattened.
Is my HTML uploaded to a server?
No. Parsing and conversion happen entirely in your browser — your content never leaves your device.
