How does this tool work?
Convert Markdown text into clean HTML code, ready to paste into a CMS, newsletter, static page or email template. Headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, tables, code blocks, links and images become the corresponding HTML tags. The conversion is carried out in your browser, without sending the content.
The converter handles common CommonMark syntax: # through ###### become <h1> through <h6>, consecutive lines form one <p>, bullet lists become <ul> and numbered lists become <ol>. A numbered list that starts above 1 keeps its start attribute. Blockquotes become <blockquote>, fenced code blocks delimited by ``` become <pre><code> with a language-… class, and GitHub-style tables become <table> with <thead> and <tbody>.
Inline syntax is converted too: **bold** and __bold__ become <strong>, *italic* and _italic_ become <em>, `code` becomes <code>, [text](address) becomes a link and  becomes an image. Inline code is preserved: the asterisks in `a*b*c` are not treated as emphasis.
Special characters (<, >, &, quotation marks) are escaped. HTML written in the source is displayed as text rather than copied as markup. Addresses using javascript:, vbscript: or data: are not inserted into links or images; only their text remains.

- The HTML produced does not contain any style: its appearance depends on the style sheet of the site where you paste it.
- The relative image paths (img/logo.png) are copied as they are: check that they also exist on the destination site.
- Use “Markdown preview” to inspect the result before copying the code. For the reverse conversion, use “HTML to Markdown”.

Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown elements are converted?
Headings, paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists, quotes, separators, code blocks, tables, bold, italics, inline code, links and images.
Is HTML secure?
Special characters are escaped and javascript:, vbscript: and data: addresses are discarded. However, check the code before inserting it into a site, like any external content.
Are extensions like checkboxes or footnotes supported?
No. They remain in text form. Only tables are taken from GitHub extensions.
Is the HTML produced a full page?
No, it is a fragment to be inserted into an existing page. To download a standalone .html page, use the Markdown preview export.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The conversion is done in your browser.
