What flavor of Markdown is supported?

We support CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM). This means tables, task lists, and strikethroughs will render correctly.

The generated HTML is a direct translation of your input. If you put potentially unsafe scripts in your Markdown, they effectively appear in the HTML. Always sanitize HTML before displaying it to other users in your own apps.

Can I style the output?

The tool generates 'clean' HTML without inline styles (classes or style attributes). You can control the look of the final content by applying your own CSS to generic tags like , , and .

From Notation to Publication

Markdown was invented by John Gruber in 2004 to help writers create web content without getting bogged down by HTML tags. It's the standard for developers, but ultimately, browsers only understand HTML.

Our Markdown to HTML Converter performs this translation instantly. As you type simple symbols like `#` and `*`, we generate the corresponding `<h1>` and `<li>` tags in the background, ready for you to copy-paste into your website.

Understanding the Conversion

Markdown maps natural plain-text formatting to semantic HTML tags:

Structure

# Header → <h1>Header</h1>
> Quote → <blockquote>Quote</blockquote>

Emphasis

**Bold** → <strong>Bold</strong>
_Italic_ → <em>Italic</em>

Lists

- Item uses <ul> (unordered list).
1. Item uses <ol> (ordered list).

Code

`var x = 1` → <code>var x = 1</code>
Triple backticks become <pre> blocks.

Bloggers

Draft posts in Notion, Obsidian, or VS Code, then convert them to HTML to paste into your custom website's "source" view.

Email Marketing

Write emails quickly in Markdown and convert them to HTML for Mailchimp or newsletter platforms that accept raw code.

Dev Documentation

Generate code snippets for your component library documentation directly from your comments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What about images?

Standard Markdown images ![Alt](url) are converted to <img src="url" alt="Alt" /> tags. You need to host the image file yourself; Markdown doesn't store the image data.

Can I add classes?

Standard Markdown does not support adding classes or IDs to elements. If you need specific styles, you often have to mix raw HTML into your Markdown source.

Does it beautify the HTML?

The output is raw HTML. If you want indented, easy-to-read HTML code, you can run the output through our HTML Formatter tool.

Standard Compliance

We target the CommonMark spec, ensuring that the generated HTML works predictably in all browsers.

Privacy

Conversion happens on your device. We do not transmit your writing to our servers.
