Markdown to HTML
Convert Markdown to clean, sanitised HTML with a live preview.
How it works
- Type or paste Markdown into the editor on the left.
- The HTML output and rendered preview update live on the right.
- Output is sanitised with DOMPurify, so it is safe to paste into your CMS.
Common use cases
- Converting Markdown notes into HTML for a CMS that does not accept Markdown directly.
- Previewing a README or blog post before publishing.
- Generating email-safe HTML from a Markdown draft.
- Teaching or demoing how Markdown maps to HTML elements.
Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown flavor is supported?
The tool uses the marked parser with sensible defaults — close to GitHub-flavored Markdown. Tables, fenced code blocks, headings, lists, blockquotes, links, and inline formatting all work.
Is the HTML output safe to paste into a CMS?
Yes. Output is sanitised with DOMPurify before rendering, so script tags, on* attributes, and other XSS vectors are stripped.
Does it support syntax highlighting in code blocks?
Fenced code blocks are preserved with the language class (e.g. <code class='language-js'>) but the tool does not embed a syntax highlighter. Add a library like Prism or highlight.js in your CMS.
Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?
Not in this tool. For HTML → Markdown, try a dedicated reverse converter such as Turndown.
