Markdown to HTML

A Markdown to HTML converter turns Markdown text into HTML markup for drafts and docs. This page runs a client-side Markdown parser in your browser so headings, lists, links, and code blocks become HTML you can copy. It does not upload your paste, fetch remote URLs from the Markdown, or claim production XSS sanitization for a CMS.

Paste Markdown. The page converts it locally with a small browser Markdown parser and shows the HTML source. An optional sandboxed preview renders the HTML inside an iframe sandbox so drafting stays on-device.

Closing the tab drops both fields. We do not write the paste to localStorage. This is a drafting helper — not a CMS sanitizer and not a remote Markdown renderer.

Markdown to HTML workspace

HTML source

Common Markdown: headings, bold/italic, links, lists, fenced code, inline code, blockquotes. Conversion stays in this tab — no upload, no remote URL fetch.

HTML source

HTML source will appear here.

Drafting helper only. Preview uses a sandboxed iframe and is not a claim of production CMS XSS sanitization. Closing the tab drops the paste.

How does the Markdown to HTML work?

  1. 1. Paste Markdown

    Common syntax works here: headings, bold and italic, links, lists, fenced code, inline code, and blockquotes.

  2. 2. Read the HTML source

    Conversion runs in this tab with a small Markdown parser. Nothing is uploaded to Page Utils.

  3. 3. Optional sandboxed preview

    Switch to Preview for a rough render inside a sandboxed iframe. Treat it as a drafting aid, not CMS-safe sanitization.

  4. 4. Copy and close

    Copy the HTML into a draft. Closing the tab clears the workspace.

Questions about Markdown to HTML

What does this Markdown to HTML tool do?
It converts Markdown text into HTML in your browser so you can copy the markup for drafts and docs. Headings, emphasis, links, lists, fenced code, inline code, and blockquotes are supported. Nothing is uploaded.
Which Markdown features are supported?
Common Markdown via the marked parser: headings, bold/italic, links, unordered and ordered lists, fenced code blocks, inline code, and blockquotes (GFM-style). Exotic extensions and raw HTML embedding are not a focus — if a construct looks wrong, check the HTML source before you paste it elsewhere.
Does this sanitize HTML for a production CMS or stop XSS?
No. This is a drafting helper. Preview uses a sandboxed iframe so the render stays contained in this page, but that is not a claim of production XSS sanitization for a CMS. If you publish the HTML elsewhere, sanitize with the tools your host already trusts.
Does this tool upload my Markdown or fetch remote URLs?
No. Conversion stays in this tab. We do not write the paste to localStorage, we do not upload it to Page Utils, and we do not fetch URLs mentioned inside the Markdown. Closing the tab drops the workspace.
Is there a separate /md-to-html/ page?
No. One canonical address with a trailing slash: /text-utilities/markdown-to-html/. There is no /md-to-html/ slug and no /in/ geo duplicate.
Why is this under Text Utilities?
Markdown to HTML is a small text transform for copy you paste into drafts. It sits beside URL Encode on the Text Utilities hub. Developer tools stay focused on tokens, JSON, UUID, Base64, and cron. Finance tools stay education-only deposit math and are not related chips here beyond hub fallbacks.
What is the difference between Markdown to HTML and URL Encode?
Markdown to HTML turns Markdown syntax into HTML tags. URL Encode turns characters into percent sequences for query strings and path segments. Use Markdown to HTML when you need markup; use URL Encode when you need a query-safe string.
Do pipe tables and task lists convert the way GitHub shows them?
Pipe tables and task-list checkboxes often render under GFM-style Markdown, but this page is a drafting helper — not a full GitHub preview. If a table or checkbox looks off, check the HTML source before you paste it into a CMS or README. Exotic extensions stay out of scope.

What else can I open?

These tools run in your browser. Page Utils does not store, upload, or write to localStorage the keys, tokens, or text you paste. Results are a convenience aid, not legal, tax, or security advice.
