About Markdown to HTML Converter
Our free Markdown to HTML Converter transforms your Markdown text into clean HTML code in real time. As you type, you'll see both a visual preview of how your content will look and the raw HTML output that you can copy and use in your projects.
The converter supports the most common Markdown syntax: headings (h1-h6), bold and italic text, links, unordered and ordered lists, code blocks with syntax highlighting indicators, inline code, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and paragraphs. It handles nested structures and proper HTML escaping.
Markdown is widely used for documentation, README files, blog posts, and content management systems because it's easier to read and write than raw HTML. This converter bridges the gap, letting you write in Markdown and get the HTML you need for web pages, email templates, or any platform that requires HTML markup. All conversion happens in your browser — your content stays private.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses plain text formatting syntax that's designed to be easy to read and write, and can be converted to HTML and many other formats. Markdown is used on GitHub, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and many content management systems. Common syntax includes # for headings, ** for bold, * for italic, and []() for links.
Q What Markdown features does this converter support?
This converter supports headings (h1-h6 using #), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), links ([text](url)), unordered lists (- or *), ordered lists (1.), code blocks (```), inline code (`code`), blockquotes (>), horizontal rules (---), line breaks, and paragraphs. It also handles nested formatting and proper HTML character escaping.
Q How do I use the generated HTML?
Click the "Copy HTML" button to copy the raw HTML to your clipboard, then paste it into your website's HTML source code, content management system, email template, or any application that accepts HTML. The generated HTML uses standard tags and doesn't require any external CSS or JavaScript to display properly.
