About this tool

CHM (Compiled HTML Help) is Microsoft’s help-file format, also used for many e-books and manuals. Markdown (MD) is plain text with simple marks for headings, lists and links, used on GitHub, in wikis and note apps.

This converter turns your CHM file into MD, the right choice for GitHub, wikis, documentation and note apps such as Obsidian. Headings, lists, links, tables and pictures become MD markup; pictures are delivered in a ZIP together with the text file when there are any. Add up to 10 files at once – each one is converted in the background, so you can keep using the site and download every result as soon as it is ready.

Documents are converted on our server: the upload starts only after you confirm, the original is deleted after conversion and the result is kept for 7 days unless you delete it sooner.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert CHM to MD?

Choose or drop your CHM file, keep MD as the output and click Convert. After you confirm the upload, our server converts the document and shows the progress; then you download the MD file.

Can I convert several CHM files at once?

Yes. Add up to 10 files at a time. Each gets its own background job with its own progress, and you can download each result as soon as it is finished.

How large can the file be?

Each file can be up to 100 MB.

What happens to my file?

It is uploaded only after you confirm. The original is deleted as soon as the conversion is finished, and the MD file is kept for 7 days so you can download it – you can delete it yourself at any time.

Is the CHM to MD converter free?

Yes. It is free, without sign-up and without a watermark.

What happens to the formatting?

MD keeps the structure – headings, lists, links, emphasis and tables – but not fonts, colours or page layout. Pictures are saved as separate files next to the text, both in one ZIP.
