Clean HTML will appear here…What is the Markdown to HTML Converter?
The Markdown to HTML Converter is a free online tool that turns Markdown-formatted text into clean HTML, with a live preview so you can see exactly how the rendered content will look as you write. Markdown is widely used for README files, documentation, blog drafts, and comments because it's fast to write in plain text, but eventually that content often needs to become HTML — for a website, an email template, or a CMS that doesn't natively render Markdown. This tool supports the core Markdown syntax people use every day: headings, bold and italic text, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, and both bulleted and numbered lists. As you type or paste Markdown into the editor, a live preview panel shows the rendered result immediately, so you can catch formatting mistakes before generating the final HTML. When you're ready, the tool outputs the corresponding HTML markup, which you can copy and drop directly into a webpage, email template, or static site generator that expects raw HTML rather than Markdown source.
How to use it
Type or paste your Markdown content into the editor panel — headings with `#`, bold text with `**bold**`, italics with `*italic*`, inline code with backticks, links with `[text](url)`, and lists with `-` or numbered items. As you write, the live preview panel updates to show how the content will actually render, so you can adjust formatting on the fly. Once your content looks right in the preview, click 'Convert to HTML' to generate the corresponding clean HTML markup in the output box below. Copy the HTML using the copy button and paste it into your website's template, CMS content field, or email builder. If you need to make further edits, just keep typing in the Markdown editor — the preview keeps updating, and you can regenerate the HTML output as many times as you need before it's final.
