Markdown to HTML is a free online tool that converts Markdown into the HTML a browser can render. Paste or write your Markdown, click Convert to HTML, and you get both the generated markup and a rendered preview showing exactly how the result will look.
It is useful when Markdown has to live somewhere that does not understand it: pasting a README into a CMS that only accepts HTML, turning meeting notes into an email body, moving documentation off a static site generator, or checking that a table you wrote by hand actually lines up. The preview answers that last one at a glance.
Everything runs inside your browser and nothing you write is uploaded. Raw HTML in the input is escaped rather than passed straight through, so markup pasted in from elsewhere is shown as text and can never run script on this page. The generated HTML stays on your device unless you copy or download it.
Put your Markdown in the top box. A short snippet and a full README both work.
Click Convert to HTML. Both the preview and the markup are produced in one pass.
Rendered Preview shows how the result will look. HTML Output holds the markup itself, with the line and character counts just above it.
Click Copy HTML for the clipboard, or Download to save it as converted.html. Clear empties the input, the preview and the output.
Yes! All our tools are 100% free to use with no hidden costs, no registration required, and no credit card needed.
Absolutely. All tools run entirely in your browser (client-side). Your data never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers.
Yes, once the page is loaded, the tool will continue to work even if you lose internet connection since it runs in your browser.
There is no strict character limit, but very large amounts of text (100,000+ characters) may slow down your browser.
Yes! All our tools are free for both personal and commercial use.
Headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, blockquotes, horizontal rules and pipe tables. That covers what most documents use. Extensions such as footnotes and task lists are not supported and come through as the literal characters you typed.
You can type it, but it is escaped rather than passed through, so angle brackets appear as visible text in both the preview and the output. That is deliberate: it stops pasted markup running script on this page, at the cost of the HTML pass-through some Markdown parsers allow.
No. The output is plain semantic markup -- heading, paragraph, list and table tags with no class attributes and no inline styles. That makes it easy to drop into a page that already has a stylesheet, and it is why the preview is styled by this site rather than by the HTML itself.
No, the conversion runs one way only. To go the other direction, the HTML Tag Stripper will pull the text back out of markup, but heading levels and emphasis do not return as Markdown syntax -- you would re-add those characters yourself afterwards.
It covers the common core plus tables and strikethrough, which is most of what people write day to day. GitHub-specific extras such as task list checkboxes and the automatic linking of bare URLs are not handled, so a README leaning on those needs a little cleanup after converting.
A single line break is treated as a space, the way Markdown normally behaves, so the sentence simply flows on. Leave a blank line between blocks to start a new paragraph. Because raw HTML is escaped here, a hard break mid-paragraph is not available -- split the text in two instead.
