- Check tables with merged cells. They may need small fixes.
- Want a PDF instead? HTML to PDF.
- Going into a wiki or GitHub? HTML to Markdown.
What carries over

Getting the HTML
- Any web page: File → Save Page As → Web Page, HTML only in your browser.

When to choose something else
- Need the page to look exactly the same? HTML to PDF.

FAQs
Does the Word document look like the web page?
It keeps the structure (headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and bold or italic text) but not the website's design. That makes it easy to edit and restyle.
Can I open HTML directly in Word?
Word can open some HTML files, but often brings across messy formatting. A clean conversion is easier to work with.
Are images included?
The converter focuses on text content. Images from the web aren't embedded.
Are images included?
Scripts and styling are dropped. Check the result for images; for a picture-perfect copy of a page, HTML to PDF is better.
Is the HTML uploaded?
No. It's converted in your browser.
