Convert Markdown to clean, copy-ready HTML with a live preview. Headings, lists, code blocks, tables, links and images are all supported.
Conversion happens locally in your browser. Your Markdown never leaves your device.
The converter is a compact, dependency-free parser. It reads your Markdown line by line, groups lines into blocks (paragraphs, lists, tables, code fences, quotes), and applies inline styling inside each block. The output is plain semantic HTML you can paste anywhere.
| Markdown | HTML |
|---|---|
# Heading | <h1>Heading</h1> |
**bold** / *italic* | <strong> / <em> |
`inline code` | <code> |
``` code block ``` | <pre><code> |
[link](url) | <a href="url">link</a> |
 | <img src="url" alt="alt" /> |
- item / 1. item | <ul><li> / <ol><li> |
> quote | <blockquote> |
| a | b | | <table> |
--- | <hr /> |
Markdown is a plain-text markup language: # for headings, * for emphasis, - for lists. HTML is the browser's native markup language. This tool converts the simpler Markdown syntax into the HTML tags browsers actually render, so you can write fast and publish anywhere.
Most issues come from blank lines: a heading, list or code block must start on its own line, and blocks are separated by empty lines. Inline styles like **bold** only work inside paragraphs, not at the start of a line that looks like a list item.
No. The converter is a small piece of JavaScript bundled into this page. Once the page has loaded it works fully offline, and your text never leaves the browser.
It covers the common core plus GitHub-style tables: headings, emphasis, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules and tables. It does not support nested lists, footnotes or math.
Yes. The output is plain semantic HTML with no classes or scripts, so it pastes cleanly into most CMS HTML editors, static site generators and email builders. If your target supports CSS, you can style the standard tags afterwards.
Before you publish, tidy awkward columns with the Markdown Table Formatter and crown your README with a proper ASCII Banner.
If you just finished with Markdown to HTML, the natural next steps are Markdown Live Editor, Code Minifier, Image to Base64 Converter, or browse every tool in Privacy File Tools.
