About this tool

Markdown is the most popular lightweight markup language, used by GitHub, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and technical writers everywhere. However, browsers don't understand Markdown natively - they need HTML.

Our Markdown to HTML converter bridges that gap. It parses your Markdown syntax locally in your browser and translates it into valid, semantic HTML code. Whether you are writing a README file, a blog post, or documentation, this tool helps you visualize the result immediately.

Unlike complex IDEs, this tool is instant and lightweight. It handles all standard syntax: headings (#), bold (**), italic (*), lists (-), links [], images ![], and even code blocks (```).

Privacy is guaranteed: Your text is processed 100% on your device and never sent to any server.

FAQs

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

Does this support Github Flavored Markdown (GFM)?

Yes, we support the core GFM features including fenced code blocks (```), tables, and task lists.

Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?

Currently this tool converts Markdown to HTML. We are building a reverse converter tool which will be released separately.

Why use Markdown instead of writing HTML directly?

Markdown is much faster to write and easier to read than HTML. For example, *text* for italics is clearer than <em>text</em>. Markdown is perfect for documentation, READMEs, blog posts, and content where you want to focus on writing without dealing with tags. It's also widely supported by platforms like GitHub, Reddit, and Stack Overflow.

What are the most common Markdown syntax elements?

Headers use # (one # for H1, two ## for H2, etc.), bold uses **text** or __text__, italics uses *text* or _text_, links are [text](url), images are ![alt](url), code blocks use ``` or indent 4 spaces, and lists use - or * for bullets or 1. for numbered items. These cover 90% of typical formatting needs.

Can I use raw HTML inside Markdown?

Standard Markdown allows raw HTML passthrough, meaning you can include HTML tags directly in your Markdown for features not supported by Markdown syntax (like tables in basic Markdown or custom styling). However, for security reasons, this tool escapes HTML by default. Enable raw HTML passthrough in settings if needed for your use case.
