Markdown to HTML Converter

Paste Markdown above and get clean HTML instantly. Headings, bold/italic, links, lists, blockquotes, inline code, and code blocks are all supported.

Example: # Hello **bold**<h1>Hello</h1> <p><strong>bold</strong></p>

Markdown is the most widely-used lightweight markup language — used on GitHub, Reddit, Discord, Notion, Slack, every blog platform from Ghost to Hashnode, and almost all README files. It is plain text with simple symbols (**bold**, # Heading, [link](url)) that map to HTML structure.

This converter handles the standard CommonMark elements: headings (1–6), bold, italic, inline code, code blocks, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, and horizontal rules. Output is clean, semantic HTML you can paste directly into any CMS, blog editor, or HTML email.

Use cases

Pasting GitHub README content into a website

Wrote your project README in Markdown? Paste it here, copy the HTML, and drop it into your CMS. Instant content reuse.

Migrating from a Markdown CMS to an HTML CMS

Moving from Notion / Ghost / Hashnode (Markdown) to WordPress / Squarespace (HTML)? Convert post bodies in batch — the tool handles posts up to ~100KB without slowdown.

HTML email composition

Write your email in Markdown (faster), then convert to HTML for the email client. The output is plain, accessible HTML that renders consistently.

Documentation export

Internal wiki pages stored as Markdown can be exported to a public HTML site. Convert here and copy.

Live preview / education

Show students or new contributors the exact HTML their Markdown produces — a powerful aid to understanding the relationship between the two formats.

Frequently asked questions

Does it support tables?

Not yet — table support requires a more sophisticated parser. For Markdown tables, use a CommonMark or GitHub Flavored Markdown processor (most CMSes ship with one). Everything else (headings, lists, links, code, blockquotes, images) is supported here.

Is the output safe to paste into a CMS?

Yes — output uses standard HTML5 tags. The tool also escapes any raw <, >, and & in your input so nothing is interpreted as HTML when you didn't intend it.

Does it handle inline HTML inside Markdown?

It escapes inline HTML rather than passing it through. If you write <br> in your Markdown, the converter will output &lt;br&gt; as visible text. Most users want this safer behavior; advanced users should use a full Markdown processor.
