HTML (.html, .htm)
HTML is the language of web pages. HTML files can be opened in any browser and contain text, links, images and structure.
Markdown (.md)

Private by design: how this converter works
Unlike typical online converters that upload your file to a remote server, this HTML to Markdown converter processes everything on your own device using fast JavaScript parsers (SheetJS, js-yaml, marked) running locally. Your file is read into browser memory, converted, and offered back as a download — it is never sent to us.
- No upload wait — conversion starts instantly, even on slow mobile data.
- Private — safe for NID copies, certificates, bank statements and personal photos.
- No limits — no daily quota, no queue and no watermark.
- Offline-ready — once loaded, many tools keep working without internet.
