Markdown to HTML Converter
Type or paste Markdown on the left and see the rendered HTML on the right, live. Then copy the clean HTML source or download it as an .html file. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
This tool converts Markdown into HTML in your browser: paste Markdown on the left, copy the rendered HTML source on the right. It supports GitHub-flavored Markdown — headings, bold and italic, lists, links, images, tables, blockquotes, and fenced code blocks — and strips script tags and unsafe links from the output.
How to use the Markdown to HTML converter
Paste or write your Markdown in the left pane. The rendered preview on the right updates as you type, so you can see exactly how headings, lists, links, images, tables, and code blocks will look. When you're happy, use Copy HTML source to grab the generated HTML, or Download .html to save it as a complete web page.
The converter supports GitHub-flavored Markdown: pipe tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, blockquotes, and inline formatting all work. The HTML it produces is clean body markup — script tags, inline event handlers, and javascript: links are stripped out — so it's safe to paste into a website, blog, or CMS.
Everything runs in your browser — the text you type is never uploaded. Great for converting private notes, README files, and documentation without sending them anywhere.
Markdown to HTML: a quick example
Markdown is a plain-text formatting syntax that maps cleanly onto HTML. You write readable shorthand and the converter expands it into tags. A few common conversions:
| Markdown you type | HTML it produces |
|---|---|
# Title | <h1>Title</h1> |
**bold** | <strong>bold</strong> |
[text](https://url) | <a href="https://url">text</a> |
- item | <ul><li>item</li></ul> |
`code` | <code>code</code> |
So a heading line like # Release notes becomes <h1>Release notes</h1>, and the live preview shows it rendered exactly as a browser would display it. The HTML source pane gives you the same markup as text you can copy.
Why convert in the browser instead of pasting into a web tool
Markdown often holds things you wouldn't want to send to someone else's server: unpublished release notes, internal docs, draft blog posts, or a README with private details. Most online converters upload your text to process it. This one doesn't — the Markdown library runs on the page, so your content stays on your device and nothing is logged or stored.
It also matters for the output. The HTML here is sanitized: <script> tags, inline on* event handlers, and javascript: links are removed, so you can paste the result into a CMS, email template, or static site without dragging in code that could misbehave. The conversion is deterministic too — the same Markdown always produces the same HTML, with no surprise reformatting.
Common uses: turning a GitHub README into HTML for a website, drafting formatted email or newsletter content, converting documentation for a help center, or just checking how a Markdown snippet will render before you publish it.
Common Markdown to HTML questions
Is my Markdown private? Yes. Conversion happens entirely on your device using a Markdown library loaded with the page — nothing is sent to a server.
Does it support tables and code blocks? Yes. It uses GitHub-flavored Markdown, so pipe tables, fenced code blocks, and task lists all render correctly.
Is the output safe to paste into my site? The converter removes script tags, inline event handlers, and javascript: links, leaving clean HTML body markup.
Can I download a full HTML file? Yes. The Download .html button wraps your content in a complete, standalone HTML document ready to open or upload.
What Markdown features are supported? Headings, bold and italic, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, blockquotes, inline code, fenced code blocks, and tables.
