Markdown to HTML

Convert markdown to clean HTML with a live preview and a raw code view, right in your browser.

Converted to HTML live as you type. Nothing leaves your browser.

Line breaks

Output

The output is an HTML fragment with no <html> or <body> wrapper, ready to paste into a page, template, or CMS field.

How to convert Markdown to HTML online

  1. Paste your markdown

    Type or paste markdown into the input. The HTML is generated live as you type.

  2. Check the output

    Switch between the HTML code view and the rendered preview to confirm the result looks right.

  3. Copy the HTML

    Click Copy HTML and paste the fragment into your page, template, or CMS field.

Why use this tool

Live preview and raw code views

A toggle on the output switches between the generated HTML and a rendered preview of it, so you can check the result before copying.

GitHub-flavoured markdown

Tables, strikethrough, task lists, and fenced code blocks convert the way they render on GitHub, on top of standard headings, lists, links, and images.

Fragment output

The result has no html or body wrapper, so it drops straight into a CMS field, newsletter template, or existing page.

Script-stripped preview

The preview removes script tags and inline event handlers before rendering, so raw HTML inside your markdown cannot run code on this page.

Optional single-newline breaks

A line breaks setting turns every newline into a line break, matching how chat messages and comments are usually written.

Drafts stay in your browser

The conversion runs locally. Unpublished posts and internal docs are never uploaded, stored, or logged.

About this tool

This converter turns markdown into HTML entirely in your browser, live as you type. It follows GitHub-flavoured markdown, so tables, strikethrough, task lists, and fenced code blocks convert the way they render on GitHub, alongside standard headings, lists, links, and images. The output is a fragment with no html or body wrapper, which is exactly the shape a CMS body field, newsletter template, or documentation page expects.

Markdown is pleasant to write but almost nothing publishes it directly. Blog engines want HTML in a rich text field, email tools want an HTML block, and internal wikis often accept raw HTML but not markdown. The usual workflow is to draft in markdown, convert once, and paste the result. The two output views cover both halves of that job: the code view shows the exact HTML you will copy, and the preview shows how that HTML renders, so a broken table or an unclosed emphasis gets caught before it ships. A line breaks setting turns every single newline into a line break, for text that was written like a chat message rather than a document.

Drafts are unpublished by definition, and pasting one into a random website is how it leaks early. Here the conversion never leaves your browser, so release notes and internal announcements stay private until you publish them. Before you do, the word counter can check the length of a draft, and the slug generator turns its title into a clean URL slug.

Frequently asked questions

What flavour of markdown does this support?
GitHub-flavoured markdown. Standard headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, and emphasis all work, plus tables, strikethrough, task lists, and fenced code blocks. Single newlines only become line breaks when the line breaks setting is switched on.
Why is the output a fragment instead of a full HTML page?
Because a fragment is what you actually paste. CMS body fields, newsletter editors, and templates already provide the page around your content, so a full document with html and body tags would just need stripping again. If you need a standalone page, paste the fragment into the body of your own template.
Is the rendered preview safe?
Markdown can contain raw HTML, so the preview strips script tags and inline event handlers before rendering. The copied HTML is not modified: it contains exactly what your markdown produced, so review markdown from untrusted sources before publishing it.
Is my markdown uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device, is never sent to a server, and is not stored or logged.
Is there a size limit?
No fixed limit. The tool converts as you type with a short pause, and large documents simply take a moment longer depending on your device. Both the input and the output areas scroll instead of growing without bound.
