Quick Answer
A Markdown to HTML converter turns lightweight markup — # headings, - lists, **bold**, fenced code blocks — into the HTML a browser renders. This tool shows a live preview alongside the generated code, and escapes everything by default for safety.
What This Tool Does
Paste Markdown and the converter produces HTML for headings, paragraphs, ordered and unordered lists, bold, italic, inline code, fenced code blocks, links and images. A rendered preview sits below so you can confirm the output before copying.
Key Features
- Live preview — see the rendered result as you type.
- CommonMark-ish subset — headings, lists, code, links, images, emphasis.
- Escaped by default — raw HTML in your Markdown is treated as text, not executed.
- Copy or download the generated HTML.
How to Use the Markdown to HTML Converter
- Paste Markdown into the input box (or load the Sample).
- Read the HTML on the right and the live preview below it.
- Click Copy to grab the HTML.
Use Cases
- Writing a README snippet and grabbing the HTML for an email or CMS.
- Converting notes into HTML for a page without a Markdown renderer.
- Learning how Markdown constructs map to HTML.
Tips
- Fenced code blocks (
```) are rendered as<pre><code>— perfect for snippets. - Raw HTML inside Markdown is intentionally escaped — use a proper Markdown editor if you need to mix both.
Privacy
Conversion happens locally — your Markdown never leaves the browser.
Conclusion
Markdown to HTML in one paste, previewed live and safe by default. Free forever.
