Good to know
Converting HTML back into Markdown is the natural move when you are migrating content out of a CMS, an old blog engine or a rich-text editor into a Git-based docs workflow. This tool uses Turndown with documentation-friendly defaults — ATX-style headings (the # form) and fenced code blocks — and hands you a downloadable .md file rather than just on-screen text, which is what you want when the output is destined for a repository.
Round-tripping is never perfectly lossless, and it helps to know why. HTML can express things Markdown simply cannot: colored spans, arbitrary inline styles, merged table cells, definition lists and nested layout. When Turndown meets a construct with no Markdown equivalent it keeps the raw HTML inline, so do not be surprised to see the occasional <div> or <table> survive the conversion — that is correct behavior, not a bug.
Images are rewritten to  syntax that still points at the original URLs; the picture files themselves are not fetched or bundled, so if you are moving a site you will need to migrate the assets separately. For quick paste-and-copy conversions without a file download, the HTML to Markdown tool is lighter, and to go the other direction the Markdown to HTML converter closes the loop.
