What happens to scripts and styles?

They are ignored entirely. , , , and contents never appear in the Markdown output.

Will it preserve my page's layout exactly?

No. Markdown describes content structure, not pixel layout. Complex layouts, tables, forms, and positioned elements are simplified to their readable content, which is usually what you want for docs or notes.

Can I convert a whole copied web page?

Yes. Paste the page's HTML (view-source or copied from dev tools) and you'll get clean Markdown of its text content, links, and structure, great for archiving articles or migrating content.

About this tool

Whether you are migrating a blog, writing documentation from a web page, or feeding clean text to an AI tool, raw HTML is the wrong format. This converter walks your HTML with the browser's real DOM parser and rewrites it as idiomatic Markdown, headings, lists, links, code blocks, and quotes all converted faithfully.

It handles the details that matter: nested lists keep their indentation, code blocks detect language-* classes for fenced-block labels, images carry their alt text, and blockquotes are prefixed line by line. Script and style content is dropped silently so tracking code and CSS never pollute your Markdown.
