Do complex tables convert?

Simple tables with one header row convert to Markdown tables. Merged cells and nested tables are flattened; consider keeping those as HTML.

Are images downloaded?

No — image references keep their URLs. Download them separately if you need local copies.

Can I paste HTML directly?

Yes, there is a paste box as well as file upload.

Why convert HTML to Markdown

Markdown is portable, diff-friendly and readable as plain text, which is why note apps and documentation systems standardise on it. Converting from HTML removes presentational markup and keeps the structure.

Elements map to GitHub-flavored Markdown: headings, emphasis, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, code blocks and simple tables. Layout wrappers, scripts and styles are discarded.

About the formats

HTML · HyperText Markup Language · .html

The language of web pages: text with tags for headings, links, images and tables, rendered by a browser.

An HTML file often references external CSS and images; converting it to PDF works best when they are embedded or online.
Saved web pages may include scripts that behave differently offline.
Semantic HTML (headings, lists, tables) converts cleanly to Word and PDF; layout built from nested divs does not.

Markdown · Markdown text · .md

Lightweight text formatting used on GitHub, in note apps and documentation: # for headings, * for lists, links in brackets.

Markdown has several dialects; GitHub-Flavored Markdown adds tables, task lists and strikethrough.
Because the source is plain text, Markdown files diff and version well in Git.
Rendering Markdown to HTML is the first step of most Markdown to PDF conversions.
