Questions
Is this HTML to Markdown converter free?
Yes. Converting here is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark. Sign in only if you want your files kept in a library you can come back to, or want to convert a batch at once.
What happens to my formatting when I convert HTML to Markdown?
Markdown keeps structure and content in a form you can diff and version. What it cannot carry over is fonts, colours, page size and anything else visual. Coming from HTML, the content that matters — structure, links and styling — is what the converter works from.
What happens to my file after it is converted?
It is converted on our server and handed straight back to you in the response. Nothing is stored, and nothing is kept after the download unless you are signed in and chose to save it to your library.
How big a HTML file can I convert?
Up to 10 MB here without an account. A free account raises that to 100 MB and lets you convert many files in one run.
What will open the Markdown file I get?
Any editor, GitHub, Obsidian or Notion.

There is a lot more where that came from
A free Grafy account takes turning HTML into Markdown from one file at a time to a whole workbench: merge, split, crop, compress, sign, redact and OCR your documents, keep everything in one library, and use it across the rest of Grafy.
