Why Convert HTML and Markdown Online?

Markdown is common in docs, GitHub READMEs, and static sites. HTML is common on web pages. This page converts pasted HTML to Markdown with Turndown, or pasted Markdown to HTML with marked, in the browser. It is not a file-upload converter and does not fetch a live URL.

Choose HTML โ†’ Markdown or Markdown โ†’ HTML, paste text, then click Convert. Data is not sent to Toolo's servers. Output is a fragment, not a full HTML document. Round-trips are not lossless. Turndown has no GFM table plugin, so HTML tables usually do not become Markdown pipe tables.

Key Features & Benefits

Built for local text conversion between HTML and Markdown:

  • Client-Side Privacy

    Conversion runs in the browser. Snippets are not uploaded or saved on a remote server. marked is not an HTML sanitizerโ€”treat output as untrusted if you paste unknown Markdown.

  • Two-Way Conversion

    Switch HTML โ†’ Markdown or Markdown โ†’ HTML, then click Convert. Switching direction tries to convert the current input into the other box. There is no file picker and no live preview as you type.

  • Common Structure, Not Every Tag

    Typical headings, bold/italic, lists, fenced code, links, and blockquotes convert. HTML โ†’ Markdown uses ATX headings (#), **bold**, *italic*, and - lists. Tables, task lists, and other GFM extras are not guaranteed. Complex layouts, CSS, and scripts are not preserved as design.

  • Free, No Account

    Use it without a login or paid plan. There is no coded length cap. Very large pastes can still slow the browser.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is my code or document content uploaded to any server during conversion?

No. Conversion runs in your browser with JavaScript (Turndown and marked). Text is not transmitted to or stored on a Toolo server.

Does the converter handle complex HTML tags like tables and code blocks?

Fenced code blocks and inline code are supported. HTML tables are not mapped to Markdown tables because the GFM table plugin is not installed; table cell text may appear as plain text. Markdown tables may still become HTML when you convert Markdown โ†’ HTML with marked.

Can I use this tool to generate Markdown for GitHub README files?

You can paste HTML or Markdown and copy the result for a README. Simple headings, lists, links, and code usually work. It does not promise GitHub-flavored tables, task lists, or a perfect copy of a full web page.
