Markdown Tools › Medium Post to Markdown

Migrating articles from Medium to a personal blog, Astro/Next.js site, Hugo theme, or a Markdown book manuscript often leaves you stuck with messy HTML markup. Medium articles include numerous wrapper divs, tracking attributes, and custom classes.

This tool strips away proprietary Medium formatting classes (like graf and pw attributes) while preserving the core structure of your post: title, section headings, paragraphs, pullquotes, code snippets, lists, and images. It produces clean, standard GitHub Flavored Markdown.

Paste the HTML copied from your Medium story into the text area below and click Convert. You can preview the generated Markdown syntax, inspect word and line counts, and download the finished .md file with a single click.

How to use it

1. Copy the HTML of your Medium post (from your Medium story or inspect element) and paste it into the box below.
2. Click Convert to Markdown to strip wrapper tags and produce clean Markdown.
3. Click Download to save the .md file, or copy the Markdown to your clipboard.

Worked example

Converts cleanly to # My Medium Story, bold text, and a Markdown blockquote.
