Markdown to HTML Converter

Convert Markdown to clean HTML with a live, sanitized preview - headings, lists, links, code blocks, tables, and more.

Type or paste Markdown below - see the rendered HTML update live, and copy the generated HTML markup.

The preview strips <script> tags and inline event-handler attributes before rendering, so pasted Markdown/HTML can't execute code in your browser.

The live preview is sanitized before rendering (script tags and event-handler attributes are stripped) so pasting untrusted Markdown/HTML can't run code in your browser.

How to Use It

  1. Type or paste Markdown text.
  2. See the live-rendered preview update as you type.
  3. Copy the generated HTML markup, or download it as a file.

What's Supported

Standard Markdown: headings, bold/italic, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, code spans and fenced code blocks, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and GitHub-flavored tables.

Security Notes

The live preview strips <script> tags and inline event-handler attributes (like onclick) before rendering, so pasting Markdown containing embedded malicious HTML can't execute code in your browser - the raw generated HTML you copy reflects this same sanitized output.

Common Uses

  • Publishing a README or documentation page on a website or CMS that expects HTML.
  • Writing blog posts and emails in Markdown, then pasting the HTML into an editor's source view.
  • Previewing how a Markdown file will look before committing it.

Markdown Quick Reference

  • # Heading to ###### Heading - heading levels 1 to 6.
  • **bold**, *italic*, `code`.
  • [text](url) for links and ![alt](image.png) for images.
  • Three backticks on their own line start and end a code block.
  • A blank line separates paragraphs - a single line break does not.
