Common Questions
Does this work with Confluence Cloud and Server?
Paste copied content from Cloud or Server/Data Center and review the result. Clipboard formats and available elements can vary by version and browser; compatibility has not been verified for every version or macro.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your content never leaves your computer, making it safe for confidential documents.
What Confluence elements are supported?
The converter supports headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, tables, code blocks, lists, task lists, blockquotes, and colored text. Complex macros may be simplified.
Can I convert Markdown back to Confluence?
Yes! Use our Markdown to Confluence converter to go the other direction. Together, these tools enable a complete round-trip workflow.
What happens to images and attachments?
Image links may still require access to Confluence. Attachments are not bundled with the Markdown file; check and save them separately.
Why not just use Confluence's export feature?
Confluence's built-in export creates Word or PDF files, not Markdown. This tool gives you clean Markdown that works with AI tools, GitHub, and modern documentation workflows.
Working with copied Confluence content
In Confluence Cloud, select the content you need and copy it from the page or editor. Paste it into the converter and inspect the result before saving. In Server or Data Center, use the same copy and paste workflow, but check the output separately: browser clipboard data, page elements, and editing interfaces can differ across versions. The converter processes what your browser supplies; it does not connect to your Confluence account or retrieve an entire space.
Review tables, nested lists, code blocks, links, and images before using the Markdown. Image references may point to resources that require Confluence access, and attachments are not downloaded as part of the Markdown file. Complex macros may be simplified or omitted. Test representative pages from your own environment before relying on the output for a migration.
For the reverse workflow, try Markdown to Confluence. For content starting in a document, see Doc to Confluence; our publishing guides provide related workflows. Conversion happens in the browser; review the output before sharing or committing it to a repository.
