Convert Markdown to Clean HTML

This free Markdown to HTML converter turns Markdown into clean, standards-based HTML you can paste straight into a website, blog, CMS, or email. Type or paste your Markdown on the left, watch the live preview on the right, then copy the HTML or download it as a ready-to-use .html file. Headings, bold and italic text, lists, tables, code blocks, blockquotes, and links all convert to the correct tags.

Everything runs in your browser with no external service, so your text is never uploaded and there are no limits or logins. Switch between the rendered Preview and the raw HTML source at any time, so you can check the markup before you ship it.

When to Convert Markdown to HTML

Markdown is the fastest way to write, but the web runs on HTML. Bloggers draft posts in Markdown and need HTML for their CMS. Developers turn README files and documentation into web pages. Newsletter writers paste formatted HTML into email tools, and support teams move notes from Notion or Obsidian into help articles. This converter closes that gap instantly, without hand-writing tags or cleaning up messy output from a word processor.

Because it runs entirely in the browser, it is also handy for private or confidential text, since nothing is uploaded. There is no queue, no signup wall, and no file-size trick, so it fits into a real publishing workflow rather than being a demo.

What Gets Converted

  • Headings: the six Markdown heading levels map to h1 through h6, keeping a proper document outline.
  • Text styles: bold, italic, strikethrough and inline code become strong, em, del and code.
  • Lists and tables: bullet and numbered lists become ul and ol, and Markdown tables become a real table.
  • Code and quotes: fenced code blocks become pre plus code, and blockquotes become blockquote.
  • Links and rules: links become a tags and horizontal rules become hr.
