Markdown to HTML Converter

The Complete Guide to Markdown and HTML Conversion

Markdown has become the default way to write formatted text for READMEs, documentation, blog drafts, and chat apps — it's fast to type and stays readable even as plain text. But eventually that content often needs to become HTML: for a website, an email template, or a CMS that doesn't understand Markdown natively. This tool converts common Markdown syntax to clean HTML instantly, with a live preview so you can check the result as you write.

Supported Markdown Syntax

• Headings: # through ###### for heading levels 1-6.
• Bold & italic: **bold** and *italic* (or __bold__ / _italic_).
• Links & images: [text](url) and ![alt](url).
• Lists: - or * for bullet lists, 1. for numbered lists.
• Blockquotes: Lines starting with >.
• Inline code & code blocks: `code` for inline, and triple backticks for full code blocks.
• Horizontal rules: A line of --- or ***.

Why Convert Markdown Instead of Writing HTML Directly?

Markdown is dramatically faster to write and far easier to read in its raw form than HTML tags. Writing content in Markdown first and converting to HTML only at the end gives you the best of both — quick, readable authoring, and clean, valid markup wherever it's needed.
