About This Tool

Markdown is a lightweight markup language designed to be readable as plain text while converting cleanly to HTML. Created by John Gruber in 2004, it is now used everywhere: README files on GitHub, documentation, blog posts (Ghost, Hugo, Jekyll), comment systems, and note-taking apps like Obsidian and Notion.

This converter supports the core Markdown specification: headings (H1–H6 with #), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), inline code (`code`), code blocks (```), blockquotes (>), unordered lists (- item), links ([text](url)), and images (![alt](url)).

The preview panel renders the HTML directly in the browser so you can see exactly how it will look on a webpage. The HTML panel shows the raw HTML output that you can copy and use in your projects.

All conversion runs in your browser using a pure JavaScript Markdown parser. No network requests, no tracking, no data sent anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses simple plain text symbols like # for headings, ** for bold, and * for lists, which convert to clean HTML.

What Markdown features are supported?

Can I use the HTML output directly in a webpage?

Yes. The HTML output is standard HTML that can be pasted into any webpage. You may want to wrap it in a <div> and add CSS styling to match your design.

This tool supports the core Markdown specification. Some GFM extensions like tables and strikethrough are not yet supported in this version.

Does this tool send my text anywhere?
