Does this tool support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?

Yes. Standard GFM extensions including strikethrough, fenced code blocks with language identifiers, task lists, and blockquotes are parsed cleanly.

Can I convert HTML back to clean Markdown?

Yes. Switch to 'HTML to Markdown' mode to reverse-convert HTML documents or rich-text snippets into clean standard Markdown.

Are my documents or articles uploaded to any server?

Never. All regex parsing and string transformations execute 100% locally in your web browser. No document text is ever transmitted across the internet.
