About this tool

Markdown lets you write formatted text with simple symbols — # for headings, ** for bold, - for lists — and then convert it to HTML for a website, email or CMS. This converter shows the rendered result next to your text as you type and gives you the generated HTML to copy or download. It supports headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, blockquotes and horizontal rules, which covers most README files, documentation and blog posts. Special characters inside code are escaped so they display correctly. Tables, footnotes and task lists from some extended Markdown flavours are not converted, so check those parts of the preview.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Markdown features are supported?

Headings (# to ######), bold, italic, ~~strikethrough~~, inline code, fenced code blocks with a language label, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, blockquotes and horizontal rules.

Are tables and task lists supported?

No. Table syntax and task list checkboxes from GitHub Flavored Markdown are shown as plain text. For documents that rely on them, use a full GFM renderer such as the one built into GitHub or a static site generator.

How do I create a line break without a new paragraph?

Leave a blank line between blocks of text to create separate paragraphs, or format short lines as a list. Raw HTML tags such as <br> are escaped and shown as text rather than rendered.

Is the generated HTML safe to put on my website?

The converter escapes raw HTML in your text, which blocks most injection. Link targets are passed through as written, so if you publish Markdown from untrusted users, still sanitise the output with a library such as DOMPurify and reject javascript: links.

Can I get a complete HTML file with styles?

The Download option saves the HTML document with the converted content. Add your own stylesheet or paste the HTML into a page that already has styles to control fonts, spacing and code highlighting.
