HTML output

How to use

  1. Type or paste Markdown into the box above — pasting the contents of an existing Markdown file works too.
  2. The preview updates as you type. No button needed.
  3. Click "Copy HTML" to copy the generated HTML source to your clipboard.

How it works

How Markdown is converted

This tool converts Markdown to HTML following GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) rules. It supports headings, bulleted and numbered lists, emphasis (bold/italic), links, images, blockquotes, code blocks, tables and strikethrough.

About preview safety

Markdown lets you embed raw HTML directly. Since this tool renders the converted HTML straight into the preview pane, it removes or neutralizes a few things before displaying it, in case pasted Markdown contains a <script> tag, an event-handler attribute (like onclick), or a javascript: link.

  • <script>, <style>, <iframe>, <object>, <embed>, <link>, <meta> and <base> tags are removed along with their contents
  • Event-handler attributes of the form on*="..." are stripped
  • Link or media targets starting with javascript: are replaced with a harmless value

This keeps scripts from running in the preview even if you paste Markdown from an untrusted source. It doesn't affect the appearance of normal Markdown — headings, lists, code blocks, links and so on render as expected.

Limits

The tool processes up to 200,000 characters at a time. Longer input is previewed using only the first 200,000 characters, with a note shown that the rest was left out.

FAQ

Is my Markdown sent anywhere?

No. Conversion and preview rendering happen entirely in your browser — nothing is transmitted to a server.

Does it look exactly like GitHub's Markdown (GFM)?

It supports GFM-equivalent basics including tables and strikethrough, but it doesn't reproduce every GitHub-specific extension, such as emoji shortcodes or checked-state task list rendering. It's accurate enough for checking basic formatting.

Where can I use the generated HTML?

Click "Copy HTML" to copy it to your clipboard. It's ready to paste anywhere you need raw HTML — a blog's HTML editor, an email body, and so on.

If I write a <script> tag in my Markdown, does it run in the preview?

No. Dangerous tags and event-handler attributes are stripped before the HTML is rendered in the preview, so pasted scripts won't execute.

Can I paste a very long document?

Up to 200,000 characters are handled normally. Beyond that, only the first 200,000 characters are previewed, and a note explains that the rest was left out.
