Google Docs to Markdown

Convert an exported Google Doc into Markdown.

Example

Google Docs → Web Page (.html)
<h1>Notes</h1><p><b>Action:</b> ship it.</p>
Markdown
# Notes

**Action:** ship it.

What it keeps

  • Headings, bold and italic
  • Links and lists
  • Paragraph text from the exported HTML

Where it struggles

  • Export the doc first (File → Download → Web Page)
  • Google's inline styling and empty spans are cleaned away
  • Images come through as links, not embedded files

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the file?

In Google Docs choose File → Download → Web Page (.html), then drop that file here.

Can I paste instead?

Yes — pasted HTML works too, but the downloaded .html gives the cleanest result.

Is my document private?

Yes. The exported file is processed only in your browser.
