Markdown output

Files never leave your browserHow?

This converter turns Confluence content into GitHub Flavored Markdown from either wiki markup or the storage format (XHTML) of the REST API: code macros, info panels, tables, tasks and expand sections. Paste it and copy the Markdown.

How it works

  1. Paste Confluence content

    Paste wiki markup, or the storage format from the REST API or Confluence source editor; the type is detected automatically.

  2. Choose the style

    Panels as GitHub alerts or quotes, emoticons as emoji, list and heading style.

  3. Copy the Markdown

    Move the page to Git, a docs site or Obsidian; check the preview first.

Features

  • Both Confluence formats

    Wiki markup (h1., {code}, ||tables||) and storage format (ac:structured-macro, ri:url, ac:task-list).

  • Panels to alerts

    {info}, {tip}, {note} and {warning} become > [!NOTE], [!TIP], [!WARNING] and [!CAUTION] with their titles.

  • Code with language

    Code macros keep language and title; CDATA content is preserved exactly.

  • Sanitized input

    Storage format is parsed by the same sanitizer as the HTML tools, so scripts in pasted content never run.

Limits & privacy

Files up to 10 MB. Nothing is uploaded: the conversion runs in your browser, and Open from URL fetches the file directly from the address you enter. See the privacy page.

Limits

Expand sections become a bold title followed by their content. Status lozenges become [STATUS] text, user mentions @name. Layouts and columns are flattened into one column.

FAQ

How do I get the storage format of a page?

Use the REST API (body.storage), a source editor app, or export to XML; paste the XHTML here.

What happens to macros like {toc} or {children}?

They generate content in Confluence and have no Markdown equivalent, so they are dropped with a warning.

Are attachments and images kept?

Image macros become ![alt](url) or the attachment file name; download attachments separately.

Are links to other pages kept?

Page links become their text, because the storage format does not contain page URLs.

Can I convert Markdown to Confluence?

Yes, with Markdown → Confluence, linked above the result.
