Markdown to HTML converter

Paste markdown on the left and get clean, semantic HTML on the right — updated as you type. Supports the full GitHub Flavored Markdown spec: tables, task lists, strikethrough, and fenced code blocks. Copy the fragment for embedding, or download a complete styled HTML document.

Markdown input

317 chars

Conversion runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Inline HTML in your markdown passes through unchanged.

What the converter outputs

The conversion uses the same parser pipeline that powers GitHub's own rendering stack (remark + rehype from the unified ecosystem), so the HTML you get matches what you see on GitHub:

  • Headings become <h1><h6>, paragraphs become <p> — semantic tags, no wrapper divs or inline styles polluting the output.
  • GFM tables become real <table> elements with <thead> and alignment attributes preserved.
  • Fenced code blocks become <pre><code class="language-…"> — ready for any syntax highlighter (highlight.js, Prism, Shiki) to pick up.
  • Task lists become checkboxes, ~~strikethrough~~ becomes <del>, and autolinks become real anchors.
  • Inline HTML in your markdown passes through unchanged — handy for <br>, <details>, or embedded iframes.

Fragment vs. full document

By default you get an HTML fragment — just the converted content, ready to paste into an existing page, a CMS body field, an email template, or a server-side include. Tick Wrap in a full HTML document and the output becomes a standalone file with a doctype, viewport meta tag, your page title, and a small embedded stylesheet that mimics GitHub's typography. That file opens directly in any browser and is a reasonable starting point for a one-page site.

Common uses

  • Email newsletters — write in markdown, convert, paste the fragment into your email tool's HTML editor.
  • CMS content — many older CMSes accept raw HTML but not markdown.
  • Static pages — the full-document mode produces a self-contained page you can host anywhere, including on MD Share if you keep it as markdown instead.
  • Debugging renderers — when a markdown file renders oddly, looking at the generated HTML usually explains why.

FAQ

Is my markdown uploaded anywhere?

No. The parser runs as JavaScript in your browser tab; your text never touches a server. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the converter keeps working.

Why does the code in my output have no colors?

Syntax highlighting is a styling concern, not a markup concern. The converter tags each code block with its language (language-js etc.) so any highlighter can colorize it — add highlight.js or Prism to the page where the HTML lives.

Can I convert HTML back to markdown?

Not with this tool — it's one-directional. For the reverse, look at libraries like turndown or rehype-remark.

Is there a size limit?

Practically no — conversion is local, so it handles book-length documents. Very large inputs (megabytes) may make typing feel slower since the preview re-converts as you type.
