Markdown to HTML converter
Write Markdown and get clean HTML out, with a live preview as you type. Headings, lists, links, code and more.
Markdown, rendered instantly
Markdown lets you write formatted text using plain, readable syntax — # for headings, **bold**, [links](url), dashes for lists and backticks for code — which is why it's the default for README files, documentation, notes and many publishing platforms. Type Markdown on the left and this tool shows the generated HTML and a live rendered preview, so you can copy clean markup straight into a website, email or CMS.
What's supported
The converter handles the everyday essentials: headings, bold and italic, inline code and fenced code blocks, links and images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules and paragraphs. Everything runs locally in your browser, so even long documents convert instantly and nothing you write is uploaded.
A quick worked example
Each piece of Markdown maps to a specific HTML tag. A line starting with ## becomes <h2>…</h2>, and ### becomes <h3>. Wrapping text in **stars** produces <strong>…</strong>, while *single stars* give <em>. A link written as [docs](/help) turns into <a href="/help">docs</a>. Dash lines become <ul> with <li> children, numbered lines become <ol>, and a > prefix wraps a line in <blockquote>.
Because the mapping is predictable, the HTML you copy out is clean and semantic — no wrapper divs or inline styles — so it drops neatly into a template, email or CMS.
