How to convert HTML to MARKDOWN
HTML and Markdown both represent formatted text, but they serve different purposes. HTML is designed for browsers and is verbose with opening and closing tags. Markdown is designed for humans: it is readable as plain text and converts cleanly to HTML when needed. Converting HTML to Markdown is useful when migrating content from a website to a static site generator, a documentation system, a CMS, or a writing tool like Notion or Obsidian.
BoltConverter converts HTML to Markdown on its servers, mapping standard HTML elements to their Markdown equivalents. Headings, bold, italic, links, lists, blockquotes, code blocks, and tables are all translated. Inline styles and non-semantic markup are stripped, leaving clean readable Markdown.

Frequently asked questions
Which HTML elements are converted to Markdown?
Standard block and inline elements are converted: headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold, italic, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, inline code, fenced code blocks, and tables.
What happens to CSS and JavaScript?
CSS styles and JavaScript are stripped from the output. Only semantic HTML content is included in the Markdown.
What happens to HTML tables?
Simple tables are converted to GitHub-flavored Markdown table syntax. Complex tables with merged cells may not convert cleanly and may need manual editing.
Can I convert a full web page saved as HTML?
Yes, but the output will include all body content including navigation, footers, and sidebars. For clean results, paste only the main article content rather than a full page HTML file.
Is my content kept private?
Your HTML is sent over HTTPS and deleted from the server immediately after conversion. BoltConverter does not store your content.
