How Markdown preview and conversion work

Markdown preview online — write and see results

README files, blog drafts, and internal docs are easier to edit when you can see formatting immediately. This panel parses GitHub Flavored Markdown locally and renders headings, lists, code blocks, and tables in the preview pane — the same workflow teams expect from a dedicated markdown preview online app, without installing an editor extension.

Markdown to HTML online for publishing

When a CMS, newsletter tool, or static generator needs HTML, switch to the HTML source tab or download the file. You get clean markup from your Markdown source in one step — useful when you want to markdown to html online during a release checklist without running a CLI on every tweak.

Convert HTML to markdown online

Migrating old documentation or cleaning up exported CMS HTML? Paste the markup, choose HTML → Markdown, and copy the text output. Turndown-style conversion handles common tags (headings, paragraphs, links, lists). Heavily styled pages may need a quick pass afterward — but it is a fast way to convert html to markdown online before committing to a repo.

Private by design

Draft posts and proprietary HTML never upload to our servers. Parsing uses marked, turndown, and DOMPurify entirely in your browser — ideal for internal specs and customer-facing copy you cannot send to third-party APIs.

Common questions

Markdown preview FAQ

Answers about live preview, HTML export, and reverse conversion.

Does this tool upload my Markdown or HTML?

No. Parsing and rendering run entirely in your browser. Your notes, README drafts, and HTML snippets never leave your device.

What is the difference between Preview and HTML source?

Preview shows sanitized rendered HTML — how readers will see it. HTML source is the raw markup string you can paste into a CMS, email template, or static site generator.

Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?

Yes. Switch to “HTML → Markdown”, paste HTML on the left, and copy the Markdown output. Complex layouts (nested tables, custom components) may need manual cleanup after conversion.

Is GitHub Flavored Markdown supported?

Yes. Tables, strikethrough, task lists, and fenced code blocks are handled via GFM settings in the parser. Very custom extensions (e.g. some diagram syntax) may not render.

Why does my preview look different from GitHub?

GitHub adds its own CSS theme and sanitization rules. This preview uses standard GFM parsing with local styling — structure and semantics should match, but fonts and spacing differ slightly.

Is the rendered HTML safe to paste into a page?

Preview output is passed through DOMPurify to strip scripts and dangerous attributes. Still review third-party HTML before publishing, especially when converting untrusted HTML to Markdown.
