What is the Markdown to HTML Converter?
This tool converts Markdown into HTML and gives you the raw HTML source to use however you need — paste it into a CMS, download it as a file, or wrap it in a full HTML document.
Unlike the companion Markdown Preview tool, which focuses on visualizing the rendered output, this tool focuses on exporting the result. Options like GFM support, line break handling, and full document wrapping let you tailor the output to your specific use case.
How to Use
- Type or paste your Markdown into the left panel. HTML is generated instantly on the right.
- Use the "HTML Code" tab to see the raw HTML source, or switch to "Preview" to see how it looks in the browser.
- Enable "GFM" to support GitHub Flavored Markdown syntax such as tables and strikethrough.
- Enable "Output as full HTML document" to wrap the result in a complete HTML file starting with `<!DOCTYPE html>`.
- Click "Copy HTML" to copy the output to your clipboard, or "Download HTML" to save it as `output.html`.
FAQ
How is this different from the Markdown Preview tool?
The Markdown Preview tool is focused on visualizing how Markdown renders. This converter is focused on getting the HTML output — copying the source, downloading a file, or generating a complete HTML document — so you can actually use the result somewhere.
Is the generated HTML protected against XSS?
The Preview tab uses DOMPurify to sanitize the HTML before rendering. However, the HTML displayed in the "HTML Code" tab and used for copying/downloading is the raw converted output. If you are converting Markdown from untrusted sources, make sure to sanitize it appropriately on the consuming side as well.
What is GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown)?
GFM is a Markdown extension developed by GitHub that adds support for tables, strikethrough, task lists, and more. It is widely adopted across many platforms and tools.
When should I use the "Convert line breaks to <br>" option?
By default, a single line break in Markdown does not produce a visible break in the output. Enabling this option converts each single newline into a `<br>` tag, which is useful for poetry, messages, or any content where line breaks should be visually preserved.
