Gutenberg is WordPress's block-based editor introduced in WordPress 5.0. It uses a block system where each piece of content (paragraphs, headings, images, etc.) is a separate block with HTML comment delimiters like .

You can export Gutenberg content from WordPress by switching to the Code Editor mode in WordPress (click the three dots menu, select "Code Editor"), or by using the WordPress REST API to get post content in HTML format with block comments.

The converter supports common Gutenberg blocks including paragraphs, headings (H1-H6), lists (ordered/unordered), quotes, code blocks, tables, images, links, bold/italic text, separators, and more. Nested blocks and custom blocks may also be converted to their closest Markdown equivalent.

Yes, simply paste the entire Gutenberg HTML content with all blocks included, and the converter will process each block sequentially and convert the entire document to Markdown format.

Since all processing is done in your browser, the main limitation is your browser's own memory capacity. For typical Gutenberg content, you should not experience any issues.
