The Markdown to HTML Converter turns Markdown source — a README, a changelog, a blog draft, a set of release notes — into the HTML a browser or CMS actually renders. Paste or type Markdown on the left, and you get semantic HTML on the right: headings become h1–h6, fenced code becomes pre and code with a language class, lists become ul and ol, and GitHub extensions such as tables, task lists and strikethrough are handled the way GitHub renders them.
Markdown is a plain-text writing format, not a display format. Anywhere it appears on a page — a docs site, a static blog, an email template, a CMS field that only accepts HTML — something has to compile it first. Doing that in the browser, rather than pulling a parser into your build or pasting your draft into a service you do not control, is the fastest way to get the markup out and move on.
Everything runs client-side. The converter is a hand-written parser, not a wrapper around a remote API, so your unpublished posts, internal docs and private release notes never leave the page. Toggle GitHub Flavored Markdown, heading anchor IDs, single-newline line breaks and raw HTML pass-through, then copy the HTML, download an .html file, or grab a generated table of contents.
Type or paste Markdown into the editor — a README, a changelog, notes from your editor, anything. The output updates as you type; load the sample if you want to see what is supported.
Turn GitHub Flavored Markdown on for tables, task lists, strikethrough and bare-URL links. Add heading IDs for deep links, enable line breaks if a single newline should become a <br />, and allow raw HTML if your Markdown already contains tags.
Switch between the HTML source and a rendered preview to confirm the structure is what you expected, and read the document stats — words, headings, links, code blocks and reading time.
Copy the HTML to the clipboard, download it as a standalone .html file, or copy the auto-generated Markdown table of contents built from the heading anchors.
Tables with column alignment, task list checkboxes, ~~strikethrough~~ and automatic linking of bare URLs — the extensions your README already relies on
Fenced blocks become <pre><code class="language-js">, the class name Prism, highlight.js and Shiki expect, so syntax highlighting works the moment you paste the output into your site
Every heading gets a slugified, de-duplicated id, and the tool generates a matching Markdown table of contents you can paste back at the top of your document
Raw HTML in the source is escaped unless you opt in, and the live preview strips script, style and inline event handlers — so pasting someone else’s Markdown cannot run their code
Encode and decode HTML entities — named (&), decimal (&), and hex (&) forms, with XSS-safe special-character escaping
Minify HTML markup for faster page loads or beautify it for readable, indented source
Count words, letters, sentences, paragraphs, and estimate reading time
