Markdown Converter Guide
Why Convert Markdown to HTML?
- Paste directly into CMSs: Most content management systems accept raw HTML. Convert your Markdown drafts in one click and paste the clean output.
- GitHub Flavored Markdown: Supports GFM extensions — tables, fenced code blocks with language hints, strikethrough, and task lists — beyond the original Markdown spec.
- Live split preview: See the rendered result and the raw HTML side by side as you type — no need to click Convert.
- 100% private: Conversion happens entirely in your browser via JavaScript. Your text never touches a server.
- Completely free: No account, no watermarks, no character limits.
Supported Markdown Syntax
Headings
Use # through ###### for h1–h6. Each heading level maps directly to the corresponding HTML heading tag.
Emphasis & Strong
Wrap text in *asterisks* or _underscores_ for italic. Use double asterisks or underscores for bold. Combine for bold italic.
Links & Images
Links use the syntax [label](url). Images follow the same pattern with a leading !: .
Fenced Code Blocks (GFM)
Wrap code in triple backticks and optionally add a language identifier (e.g. ```js) for syntax highlighting hints. The converter outputs a <pre><code> block with a class="language-js" attribute compatible with Prism.js and Highlight.js.
Tables (GFM)
Pipe-delimited tables are fully supported. A separator row with dashes and optional colons controls column alignment. Tables render as semantic <table> HTML with <thead> and <tbody>.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this support GitHub Flavored Markdown?
Yes. The converter uses marked with GFM enabled by default, which adds support for tables, fenced code blocks with language identifiers, strikethrough (~~text~~), and autolinks on top of the CommonMark specification.
Is the output safe to use in a web page?
The converter outputs raw HTML exactly as specified by the Markdown. If you plan to render untrusted user content in a browser, sanitize the HTML output first with a library like DOMPurify before inserting it into the DOM, to prevent XSS vulnerabilities.
Can I convert large documents?
Yes — there is no character limit. The conversion runs entirely in your browser so performance depends on your device. Documents up to hundreds of thousands of characters convert in milliseconds on modern hardware.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. Everything happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your Markdown is never transmitted to any server, stored in any database, or shared with any third party.
How do I use the HTML output in my project?
Click HTML Source to switch to the raw HTML view, then click Copy HTML to copy it to your clipboard. Paste it directly into your CMS, email template, static site generator, or any HTML file.
What is the difference between Markdown and HTML?
Markdown is a lightweight plain-text format designed to be easy for humans to write and read. HTML is the markup language browsers render natively. Markdown-to-HTML conversion lets you write in the readable Markdown syntax and output the HTML that browsers and CMSs understand.
