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 charsConversion 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.
