📝 Markdown to HTML Converter
Convert Markdown to clean HTML. GitHub Flavored Markdown with tables, task lists, and code highlighting.
About this tool
Markdown is a lightweight markup language used everywhere: README files, issue trackers, static site generators, and documentation. This tool converts Markdown to clean, standards-compliant HTML — the same kind GitHub, Stack Overflow, and most developer platforms produce.
Example: **Bold** and *italic* becomes <strong>Bold</strong> and <em>italic</em>. A | table | row | becomes a proper <table> element. Code blocks get syntax-highlighting-friendly <pre><code> wrappers.
Enable GFM for GitHub-style tables, task lists, and strikethrough. Turn on line breaks when a single newline should produce a <br> instead of being ignored. Use the Sample button to see it in action, and Download to save a complete HTML document.
FAQ
What's the difference between this and the Markdown Preview tool? ›
Markdown Preview shows a rendered visual preview of how your Markdown looks. This tool gives you the raw HTML markup — useful when you need the actual code to paste into a website, CMS, or email.
What is GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown)? ›
GFM is GitHub's extended Markdown dialect. It adds tables, task lists ([ ] and [x]), strikethrough (~~text~~), autolinks, and disallows raw HTML by default. Most developer platforms use GFM, so it is the safest choice for portability.
When should I enable line breaks? ›
Standard Markdown ignores single newlines — you need a blank line for a new paragraph. With line breaks enabled, every newline becomes a <br> tag, which matches how many chat apps and comment boxes behave. Enable it when converting text written with frequent manual line breaks.
Is the output safe to embed in a webpage? ›
The output is semantic HTML without any embedded styles or scripts. The tool produces standard block-level and inline elements. For user-generated content you should still sanitize the output server-side before rendering it on a live site.
Can I download the output as an HTML file? ›
Yes — the Download button wraps the converted HTML in a complete document with doctype, charset meta, and viewport, saving it as export.html you can open directly in a browser.
