Why convert Markdown to HTML?

  • Share with anyone — not everyone has a Markdown viewer, but everyone has a browser.
  • Publish — paste the HTML into a CMS, newsletter tool or static page.
  • Preview — see exactly how headings, tables and lists render.

How the conversion works

The Markdown is parsed with the marked library using GitHub-flavoured rules, the resulting HTML is cleaned of anything unsafe, and it is placed into a standalone page with the document’s first heading as the page title.

What is a Markdown file?

Markdown (.md) is a lightweight way to write formatted text using plain characters: # Heading, **bold**, *italic*, - list item and so on. It stays readable as raw text, yet converts cleanly to HTML.

Markdown is used everywhere from GitHub README files and documentation sites to note-taking apps such as Obsidian, Notion exports and many static site generators.

What is an HTML file?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language of web pages. An HTML file is plain text with tags such as <h1> for headings, <p> for paragraphs and <img> for pictures. Any web browser can open it, on any operating system, without extra software.

HTML is a convenient format for reading and sharing documents: it keeps headings, lists, tables, links and emphasis, and a single file can even carry its images embedded inside it.

Frequently asked questions

Which Markdown syntax is supported?

GitHub-flavoured Markdown — headings, emphasis, strikethrough, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, block quotes, code blocks and tables.

Are my images included?

Image references are kept exactly as written. Keep the image files next to the HTML file (with the same relative paths) and they will display, just as they did in your Markdown editor.

Is raw HTML inside my Markdown kept?

Safe formatting HTML is kept. Scripts, inline event handlers, styles and javascript links are removed so the page is safe to open and share.

Does the page have styling?

Yes. A clean, responsive reading style with dark-mode support is included in the file — no external stylesheet is needed.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Rendering happens in your browser.
