About this tool

Convert Markdown into clean HTML you can paste into a CMS, or turn existing HTML back into Markdown for editing. Headings, bold and italic, links, images, lists, blockquotes, tables, inline code and fenced code blocks are all handled, and a live preview shows the rendered result as you type. Everything runs locally.

How to use the Free Markdown to HTML Converter

  1. Choose the direction: Markdown to HTML, or HTML to Markdown.
  2. Paste or type your source in the left panel.
  3. Watch the converted output and the rendered preview update as you type.
  4. Copy the output, or download it as a file.
  5. Switch direction at any time to round-trip a document.

Frequently asked questions

Which Markdown flavour is supported?
CommonMark basics plus the common GitHub-flavoured extras: tables, strikethrough, fenced code blocks and automatic links.
Is the HTML safe to publish?
The preview is sanitised before rendering. If you are publishing user-supplied Markdown, sanitise it again on your own server.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Conversion and preview both run in your browser.
Why did my HTML lose some styling?
Markdown has no way to express inline styles, classes or layout, so those are dropped when converting HTML to Markdown. Structure and content are preserved.
