HTML to MD Conversion FAQ

How do I convert HTML to MD?

Drop your HTML file onto the upload area. PDF.to reads the source structure and writes an equivalent MD document you can download immediately. MD is Markdown, John Gruber’s 2004 plain-text syntax for writing structured documents that stay readable as source.

Will styles, headings, and lists survive the HTML to MD conversion?

Yes. Heading levels, paragraph styles, ordered and unordered lists, and inline formatting (bold, italic, links) are mapped to MD equivalents.

Do tables in my HTML come through correctly in the MD?

Yes — tables are reconstructed as native MD tables with row, column, and merged-cell structure intact.

Will images embedded in my HTML stay embedded in the MD?

Yes, at original resolution and position. Inline images, floated images, and image-in-table cells all carry over.

Does the converter preserve track-changes and comments?

Yes when both HTML and MD support them. If MD has no comment model, comments become inline annotations or are stripped — your choice in the options panel.

Can PDF.to batch-convert many HTML files at once?

Yes — drag a folder onto the page. Each HTML becomes a separate MD, all delivered as a ZIP.

What is the largest HTML file I can convert?

The free plan has a size limit that varies by file type; PRO allows much larger files. Documents that large usually have heavy embedded images.

Will hyperlinks and cross-references in the HTML stay working in the MD?

Yes. URLs, internal cross-references, footnotes, and bookmarks are all mapped to their MD equivalents.

Is the HTML to MD converter free?

Yes, for documents within the free size limit. PRO accounts get larger files, faster processing, and batch ZIP delivery.

Does PDF.to keep my HTML content?

No. Uploaded HTML files and converted MD outputs are deleted from our servers within an hour. Conversion runs in an isolated worker.

Why does my MD look slightly different from my HTML?

Different document formats have different default fonts, margins, and pagination rules. We preserve content faithfully; minor visual differences in fonts or page breaks are expected.

Can I convert HTML to MD on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The whole conversion runs in your browser — upload your HTML, get the MD back, no app to install.

HTML

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages. HTML files contain structured code with tags that define the structure and content of a webpage. HTML is crucial for web development, enabling the creation of interactive and visually appealing websites.
