Frequently asked questions
Which HTML elements are converted?
All standard block and inline tags (headings, lists, tables, code, blockquotes, links, images, bold / italic / strikethrough). Unknown or structural tags (div, span, section) are kept only if they contain convertible content.
Will the output look identical?
Semantically yes, visually no; Markdown does not preserve styling, alignment, or custom classes. For like-for-like rendering, keep HTML.
Does it handle tables?
Yes; HTML tables become GitHub Flavored Markdown tables, with alignment hints preserved from <th> alignment attributes.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your files never leave your device, and there is no server component for this tool.
