Markdown → HTML

Formatting

Render GitHub-flavored Markdown with a live HTML preview.

What this tool helps with

Markdown's appeal is that it reads as plain text and converts cleanly to HTML for browsers, README files, and content management systems. This converter uses a CommonMark-compatible parser so headings, lists, links, code fences, and tables render the way GitHub and most static-site generators do. The conversion runs in-page, which means notes that contain private context can be previewed without sending anything to a remote service — the same reason it's reasonable to draft release notes or internal docs here.

FAQ

Does this support GitHub Flavored Markdown?

It supports the common GFM additions — fenced code, tables, task lists, autolinks, and strikethrough — on top of CommonMark. Footnotes and emoji shortcodes vary by parser, so test if you rely on them.

Is the rendered HTML safe to paste into my site?

The output is plain HTML, not sanitised against XSS. If you're rendering user-submitted Markdown on a site, run the HTML through a sanitizer (like DOMPurify) before injecting it.

Why does my custom HTML inside Markdown disappear?

Strict CommonMark only allows a fixed set of HTML blocks. Inline HTML is usually fine, but block-level custom elements may be stripped. If you need to mix freely, consider MDX in your final pipeline.
