The Free Markdown to HTML Converter Built for Speed and Privacy

Markdown is the writing format of the modern web: README files, documentation, blog drafts, chat messages, and static-site content are all written in it. But browsers speak HTML, not Markdown. Our free online Markdown to HTML converter bridges that gap instantly: paste your Markdown, see a live preview, and grab clean HTML you can drop straight into a web page, email template, or CMS. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your content is never uploaded and never logged.

Your Markdown is never sent to our servers. All conversion happens in JavaScript on your device. We log nothing. Free forever with no account required.

GitHub-Flavored Markdown Support

This converter understands GitHub-flavored Markdown (GFM), the most widely used Markdown dialect, so the output matches what you see on GitHub, GitLab, and most documentation sites:

• Tables: pipe-delimited tables convert to proper <table> markup
• Task lists: checkbox lists render as interactive-looking list items
• Fenced code blocks: triple-backtick blocks become <pre><code> with language hints preserved
• Strikethrough: text wrapped in double tildes becomes <del>
• Autolinks: bare URLs become clickable links

Live Preview and Clean Source

Toggle between two views of your converted content:

Preview

See your Markdown rendered exactly as a browser would display it: headings, lists, tables, links, images, and code all styled and laid out. This is the fastest way to confirm your Markdown produces the structure you intended.

HTML Code

View the raw, formatted HTML source with syntax highlighting and line numbers. Copy it to your clipboard or download it as a ready-to-use .html file. The output is clean, semantic HTML with no inline styles and no editor cruft.

Line Break Handling

By default, the converter follows standard Markdown rules where a single line break is treated as a space and a blank line starts a new paragraph. Enable the line-break option to convert every single newline into a hard <br>, which matches how chat apps and comment boxes often behave. Choose whichever matches the source you are converting.

Input Methods

• Paste: type or paste Markdown directly into the textarea
• Paste from clipboard: one-click paste button reads from your clipboard
• Upload file: select a .md, .markdown, or .txt file from your device (processed locally, no upload)
• Drag and drop: drop a Markdown file anywhere on the tool
• Sample Markdown: load a built-in example to explore the tool
