What is Markdown to HTML?

Markdown to HTML converts your Markdown content into properly structured HTML in real time. It supports full CommonMark syntax, including tables, code blocks, and task lists, so you can preview content or generate HTML for a CMS.

Conversion uses the marked parser with GitHub-Flavored Markdown extensions, so tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, and autolinks render the same way they would in a GitHub README. The live preview updates as you type, and the source view shows the exact HTML you'll copy — semantic h1–h6, ul/ol, pre/code, and img tags with no inline styles. Flip on Minify for compact single-line output, and the download wraps everything in a standalone .html document, or in your own template once you set one.

How to use

1. Type or paste your Markdown content in the editor — headings, lists, links, images, code blocks, and tables are all supported.
2. See the rendered HTML preview update in real time, and toggle between preview mode and raw HTML source.
3. Copy the clean HTML output or download it as an .html file ready to use in your website or CMS.

When to use

• Drafting a blog post in Markdown and pasting clean HTML into a CMS that doesn't accept .md files.
• Converting a project README into HTML for a documentation site or landing page.
• Checking how unfamiliar Markdown syntax (footnotes, task lists) renders before publishing.

Result

You've written a technical tutorial in Markdown and need to paste it into a CMS that only accepts HTML. Convert it here to get clean, semantic HTML with proper heading hierarchy and code highlighting markup.

FAQ

Which Markdown flavour does this tool support?

GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) on top of CommonMark. That includes pipe tables, fenced code with language hints, strikethrough with ~~text~~, task lists with [x] / [ ], and automatic URL linking.

Will the HTML come with inline CSS or classes?

No. The output is plain semantic HTML — h1, h2, p, ul, pre, code, img. Add your own CSS so the rendered page matches your site's typography instead of fighting framework defaults.

Does it apply syntax highlighting to code blocks?

It wraps code blocks in <pre><code class="language-xxx">, so a highlighter like Prism or highlight.js can colour them once the HTML is on your page. The conversion itself does not embed colours.

What happens to inline HTML I include inside the Markdown?

Inline HTML passes through unchanged. You can mix raw <div>, <iframe>, or <details> tags with Markdown when you need something the syntax doesn't cover, like an embedded video.

Can I convert HTML back to Markdown here?

This tool only goes Markdown to HTML. For the reverse direction look for an HTML-to-Markdown converter — the workflows are different because HTML carries styling and layout that Markdown can't represent.
