Does the converter handle tables?

Yes. With GitHub Flavored Markdown enabled, an HTML is turned into a Markdown pipe table: the first row becomes the header, a divider row is inserted, and the remaining rows become the body. Pipe characters inside cells are escaped so they do not break the table.

What happens to links and images?

Anchors become [link text](href) and images become ![alt text](src), preserving the title attribute when present. If you turn off "keep links" the anchor text is kept but the URL is dropped, and turning off "keep images" removes images entirely — useful when you only want the prose.

Are code blocks and inline code preserved?

Yes. A block becomes a fenced code block, and if the code element carries a class like "language-js" that language is added to the fence. Inline spans are wrapped in backticks, and the code text itself is never escaped or reformatted, so snippets stay exactly as written.

Will it work on messy HTML copied from a website?

That is what it is built for. The parser is tolerant of unclosed tags, uppercase element names, unquoted attributes and stray comments, and it strips and blocks. Copied CMS or WYSIWYG output usually converts cleanly, though very unusual nested structures may need a small manual tidy.

Does this reverse the Markdown to HTML tool?

For the common constructs, yes. This converter is the inverse of the Markdown to HTML tool, so running Markdown through that tool and the result back through this one generally reproduces the original document. Whitespace and a few HTML-only features are the usual sources of small differences.

Is my content uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using plain JavaScript — nothing you paste is sent to a server, logged or stored. That makes it safe for internal pages, unpublished drafts and any content you would rather not upload, and it keeps working with no network connection.

Is the HTML to Markdown converter free?

Yes. There is no signup, no usage limit, no watermark and no upload. Conversion happens locally in your browser, and the page continues to work offline once it has loaded.
