Key Features

• Clean HTML → Markdown conversion

  Turn headings, lists, links, tables, and code blocks into readable Markdown you can paste into docs.

  Script and style tags are skipped so you can convert pasted markup without carrying executable content.

• Private by design

  Conversion runs in your browser. ToolMint does not upload your HTML to a server.

Use Cases

  Convert an HTML email or newsletter into readable Markdown for storage, indexing, or plain-text review.

Benefits

• ✓Recover Markdown from HTML exports without manual rewriting
• ✓Keep confidential markup in the browser while converting
• ✓Produce docs-ready output for README and wiki workflows
• ✓Skip executable script/style content automatically

Best Practices

• Paste meaningful body markup rather than entire pages with navigation chrome.
• Review tables and nested lists after conversion for edge-case formatting.
• Prefer well-formed HTML for more predictable Markdown structure.

Common Mistakes

• Expecting pixel-perfect layout recreation - Markdown is structural, not a CSS clone.
• Pasting huge pages with ads/scripts and wondering why some tags disappear (they are skipped).
• Forgetting to choose Markdown to HTML when you need the reverse direction.

Privacy Notice
