Confluence to Markdown Converter

Migrate Confluence pages to Markdown. Info / warning / tip panels become GFM alerts automatically.

Summary — What Free Confluence to Markdown Converter Does

What This Free Tool Is

Free Confluence to Markdown Converter migrates Confluence wiki markup — headings, panels, tables, code blocks, links, lists — into clean GitHub-Flavored Markdown. {info}, {warning}, {note}, and {tip} panels become GFM alerts automatically so your docs stay visually distinct after the migration.

Privacy: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or cached. Close the tab and it's gone. Verify in DevTools → Network: zero requests fire.

Why It's Free (And How We Keep It Free)

Getting off Confluence is one of the most common 'docs migration' projects in every company. Paying a SaaS to do the conversion is absurd when the grammar is well-defined. This tool runs entirely in your browser.

Confluence to Markdown Converter Features

Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.

Panel Macros to GFM Alerts

Confluence's {info}, {warning}, {note}, {tip}, and {success} panels all become first-class GFM alerts: > [!NOTE], > [!WARNING], > [!IMPORTANT], > [!TIP]. These render natively in GitHub, Obsidian (with the Admonition plugin), and most modern Markdown engines.

For the reverse direction, use the Free Markdown to Confluence Converter. For plain Jira (no panels), see the Free Jira to Markdown Converter.

Full Wiki Grammar Support

h1.h6. become Markdown headings. Single-asterisk *bold* becomes **bold**. _italic_ stays _italic_. -strike- becomes ~~strike~~. {{code}} becomes inline backtick code. {code:lang} blocks become fenced Markdown code with the language preserved.

Clean up the output with the Free Markdown Formatter or audit headings with the Free Markdown Headings Extractor.

Tables, Links, Images

Confluence tables with ||header||header|| rows and |cell|cell| data rows become GFM pipe tables with proper separator rows. Links [text|url] become [text](url). Images !url|alt=alt! become ![alt](url).

After conversion, sort the tables with the Free Markdown Table Sorter or reshape them with the Free Markdown Table Transposer.

Lists, Quotes, Horizontal Rules

* unordered and # ordered lists (with any nesting depth) become standard Markdown lists with correct indentation. {quote}...{quote} and bq. blockquotes become > blocks. Horizontal rules ---- become ---. The {toc}, {anchor}, and {color} macros are stripped, since they have no Markdown equivalent.

For large docs, the Free Markdown TOC Generator can recreate a table of contents from the converted headings.

How To Use Free Confluence to Markdown Converter

Step 1 — Paste Confluence wiki markup

Copy the wiki-markup source of a Confluence page and paste it in. Use 'Insert' → 'Markup' → 'Wiki Markup' in Confluence to see it.

Step 2 — Toggle panels-as-alerts

On by default. Turn off if you'd rather drop the panel markers entirely for the migration.

Step 3 — Copy or download the Markdown

Use the result in GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, or wherever your docs live now.
