## How to convert HTML to Markdown

1.  Choose **Paste HTML** or **From a URL**.
2.  Paste the source code or public webpage address.
3.  Select **Convert to Markdown**.
4.  Review the result, then copy it or download the `.md` file.

## HTML structure becomes readable Markdown

HTML can carry content, layout, styling, scripts, tracking code, and interactive controls. Markdown has a smaller job. It stores readable structure such as headings, paragraphs, links, lists, code, quotes, and tables.

The converter keeps that readable structure and drops the browser-specific parts. The result works well in documentation, Git repositories, note apps, prompts, and agent context files.

## Paste source code or fetch a public webpage

Use **Paste HTML** when you want to convert the exact source you already have. Use **From a URL** when you only have the page address. Keep fetches that page and removes navigation, sidebars, cookie notices, and other page furniture before it returns the main content.

The dedicated [URL to Markdown converter](https://keep.md/tools/url-to-markdown) is a quicker option when every conversion starts with a public webpage.

## What Markdown cannot copy from HTML

-   CSS colours, fonts, spacing, and responsive layout.
-   JavaScript behaviour and interactive controls.
-   Forms, buttons, videos, and embedded app state.
-   Complex tables that depend on merged cells or visual positioning.

If you only need the table, the [Markdown table generator](https://keep.md/tools/markdown-table-generator) lets you import it into a grid, fix the cells and alignment, then copy the updated Markdown.
