Free Online Markdown to HTML

Paste Markdown and get the HTML for a web page, an email or a CMS. Choose GitHub rules (tables, task lists, strikethrough) or strict CommonMark. It gives developers a quick browser-based way to solve a focused markdown to html task before moving the result into a project.

How to use Markdown to HTML

Paste your code in the box on the left, or open a file, then press Convert. Leave "Remove unsafe code" on unless you trust the Markdown: it strips scripts and event handlers.

Common mistakes

  • Turning sanitising off for Markdown written by other people, then publishing the HTML.
  • Expecting the same result in every tool: Markdown flavours differ in details such as line breaks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between GitHub and CommonMark?
CommonMark is the strict base standard. GitHub Flavored Markdown adds tables, task lists, strikethrough and automatic links.
Why remove unsafe code?
Markdown can contain raw HTML, including <script> and onerror attributes. If you will put the result on a page, sanitising keeps visitors safe.
Does the output include <html> and <body>?
No, only the content, so you can paste it into your page. The preview shows how it renders.
Is my code uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing you paste is sent to a server.
How do I use this markdown to html tool?
Use the interactive controls above; processing stays in your browser and the result is intended as a practical starting point for development work.
