Semantic HTML Converter

Replace generic <div> elements with semantic HTML5 landmarks.

About Semantic HTML Converter

Paste HTML that uses generic <div> and <span> elements and this tool will replace them with appropriate HTML5 semantic landmark elements (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <aside>, <footer>, <article>, <section>, <figure>) based on class and id attribute names. Improves accessibility, SEO and screen reader compatibility. Uses DOMParser — no uploads.

What elements are converted?

Any <div> or <span> whose class or id contains a recognised pattern: header, footer, nav, main, aside, article, section, figure. Divs and spans with an onclick attribute are also converted to <button>.

Will it break my HTML?

The converter uses DOMParser to parse and serialise the HTML, so attribute order and some whitespace may change. Always review the diff before using the output in production.

Is my HTML uploaded?

No — DOMParser runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
