About the formats
HTML
HyperText Markup Language
HTML is the markup language web pages are written in. It marks up headings, paragraphs, links and tables with tags, and every browser opens it.
MD
Markdown
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that turns a few simple symbols in plain text into headings, lists, links and bold text. GitHub, Notion and many note apps use it.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting HTML to Markdown free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
