Markdown to HTML Converter

Paste Markdown or drop .md files and get clean, safe HTML instantly — a snippet for your CMS or a complete styled page — with GitHub tables, task lists, alerts and syntax-highlighted code.

Runs in your browser Free · no sign-up

At a glance

  • Converts GitHub Flavored Markdown — tables with alignment, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks and GitHub alerts — to HTML as you type.
  • Outputs an HTML snippet, a full styled page (GitHub-like CSS with light and dark themes) or a plain full page; title, description and language come from YAML front matter.
  • Syntax-highlights code blocks in 20+ languages with highlight.js classes, or emits plain language-* classes for Prism.
  • Options for heading IDs, # anchor links, external links in a new tab, GitHub-style line breaks, front matter and minified output.
  • Removes unsafe HTML — scripts, event handlers and iframes — with DOMPurify, so the output is safe to publish.
  • Converts several .md files at once and downloads them as a .zip. Everything runs in your browser; files are never uploaded.

Step by step

How to convert Markdown to HTML

  1. 1

    Add your Markdown

    Paste or type it, or click Open files (or drop .md files) to convert several at once.

  2. 2

    Choose the output

    Pick HTML snippet, Full page, styled or Full page, plain, and set options such as heading IDs or minify.

  3. 3

    Check it

    Read the highlighted HTML, or switch to Preview to see how it looks.

  4. 4

    Copy or download

    Click Copy HTML, download the .html file, or download all files as a .zip.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don’t

Clean output

Semantic HTML without inline styles — headings, lists, tables and code exactly as you wrote them.

Snippet or full page

Paste a snippet into WordPress, Ghost or an email, or download a standalone styled page.

Highlighted code

Code blocks come out with highlight.js markup and a matching theme in the styled page.

Safe to publish

Raw HTML in the Markdown is sanitised, so copied content can’t carry scripts.

Batch conversion

Drop a folder’s worth of .md files and get every page as .html in one zip.

Live preview

Switch between the HTML source and the rendered result while you edit.

Snippet or full page?

Use the HTML snippet when the HTML goes inside an existing page — a CMS editor, a blog template, a help centre or an email builder. They already have their own <head> and styles.

Use a full page for a standalone file you open, share or host on its own: documentation, release notes or a README turned into a web page. The styled version embeds the CSS, so it looks right without any other files.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is my Markdown uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser with the marked library, and nothing is sent to a server — so it’s safe for private documentation.

Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown?

Yes: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks and fenced code blocks, plus GitHub alerts (> [!NOTE], [!TIP], [!WARNING] …) and heading IDs that match GitHub’s.

Can I keep raw HTML from my Markdown?

Yes. Safe HTML such as <details>, <kbd> or <img> is kept. With “Remove unsafe HTML” on, scripts, iframes, forms and inline event handlers are stripped; switch it off only for content you trust.

How do I style the HTML?

Choose “Full page, styled” for a ready-made GitHub-like look, or use the snippet with your own CSS. Code blocks use highlight.js classes, so any highlight.js theme works.

Can I convert many Markdown files at once?

Yes. Open or drop several .md files; switch between them to check each one, then download all as HTML files in a .zip with the same options.
