HTML → Markdown for pasted markup and release notes
Turns common HTML tags into Markdown. The conversion is lossy, so check the result before you publish it.

Developer notes

This converter matches patterns in the text. It is not a full HTML parser, so unusual markup can be missed. Ordered lists become bullet lists, and tables, images and code blocks lose their markup. Headings h5 and h6 lose theirs too. Scripts and styles are not removed: the tags go, but their text stays. Delete them before you paste.

Use cases

Turn a CMS excerpt into Markdown for a README or a docs repository. Move the HTML of a release email into a changelog. See what survives when a page becomes Markdown.

About these options

CSV exports: choose a delimiter (Auto follows locale — semicolon on /fr), RFC-minimal vs always-quoted fields, line endings, and whether to emit a header row. CSV imports: delimiter is auto-detected from the first line (comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe) — toggle whether row 1 holds column names. JSON output (XML, YAML, or CSV sources): indentation (including compact one-line) and optional recursive key sort. JSON → XML: toggle pretty-printing and indent width. YAML output: indent width, readable vs tighter layout, and deterministic string quoting (there is no source YAML file to “preserve”). XML comments are not represented in the intermediate JSON tree.

HTML → Markdown FAQ

What is converted

Which tags are converted?

Headings h1 to h4, strong and b, em and i, links, list items, paragraphs and br. Every other tag is removed, and its text is kept.

Are ordered lists numbered?

No. Every list item becomes a bullet that starts with a hyphen, so the numbering is lost.

What happens to a table?

Its tags are removed, and the cell text is kept without column separators.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, and FastMinify never receives what you paste.
