How to Use the Markdown to HTML Converter

  1. Type or paste your Markdown into the left-hand panel, the editor loads with a sample to show you what’s supported.
  2. Watch the live preview update on the right as you type, so you can see exactly how your content will render.
  3. Toggle “Convert single line breaks to <br>” if you want every new line to become a hard break instead of being merged into a paragraph.
  4. Switch to the “HTML Source” tab to see the generated markup, or leave it on “Preview” to check the visual result.
  5. Click “Copy HTML” to copy the code to your clipboard, or “Download .html” to save it as a standalone file.

What This Tool Converts

  • Headings: # through ###### become <h1>–<h6>.
  • Text formatting: **bold**, *italic*, and ~~strikethrough~~.
  • Links and images: [text](url) and ![alt](url) syntax.
  • Lists: ordered and unordered, including custom start numbers.
  • Blockquotes: lines starting with >.
  • Code: inline `code` spans and fenced ``` code blocks with language classes.
  • Tables: GitHub-flavored Markdown tables with column alignment.
  • Horizontal rules: ---, ***, or ___.

Why Use a Markdown to HTML Converter?

  • Faster content publishing: write in Markdown (faster to type than raw HTML) and paste clean HTML into WordPress, Ghost, or any CMS’s Custom HTML block.
  • Cleaner emails and newsletters: draft in Markdown and convert to HTML for email builders that don’t support Markdown natively.
  • Documentation and README files: preview how your GitHub README or docs will render before committing.
  • No software to install: everything happens client-side in your browser; nothing is uploaded to a server.
  • Consistent formatting: avoid the inconsistent HTML that “paste from Word” or “paste from Google Docs” often produces.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Markdown converter completely free?

Yes. There are no limits, no sign-ups, and no watermarks. Convert as much Markdown as you need.

Does this support GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM)?

It supports the most commonly used GFM features: tables with alignment, strikethrough text, and fenced code blocks with language labels, alongside standard headings, lists, links, images, and blockquotes.

Is my content sent to a server?

No. All conversion happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your Markdown never leaves your device.

What’s the difference between the two toggle options?

By default, single line breaks within a paragraph are treated as soft wraps and merged into one line, matching standard Markdown behavior. Turning on “Convert single line breaks to
” makes every new line become a hard break, which is useful for content like addresses or song lyrics where line position matters.

Can I convert raw HTML that’s mixed into my Markdown?

This tool escapes angle brackets in your input before applying Markdown formatting, so any HTML tags you type will show up as visible text rather than being executed. This keeps the tool safe to use with pasted content from untrusted sources.

Can I use the output directly in WordPress?

Yes. Switch to the “HTML Source” tab, copy the code, and paste it into a Custom HTML block in the WordPress block editor.
