About Markdown to HTML
Markdown to HTML turns plain Markdown into clean HTML, with optional GitHub Flavored Markdown for tables, task lists, and fenced code. Reach for it when you've written content in Markdown but need to paste real markup into a CMS, email template, or static page. It all happens in your browser, so drafts and notes stay on your device.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference with GitHub Flavored Markdown on?
GFM adds tables, task list checkboxes, strikethrough, and autolinking on top of standard Markdown. With it off, you get the stricter CommonMark-style baseline.
What input does it accept?
Plain text or Markdown (text/plain and text/markdown). You can paste source directly or load a .md file.
Is my Markdown uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion runs locally in the browser, so unpublished posts, internal notes, and private docs never leave your machine.
Does it sanitize the HTML for safe embedding?
It converts Markdown faithfully to HTML; it is not an HTML sanitizer. If you're rendering untrusted Markdown on a live site, sanitize the output server-side before display.
Will it preserve raw HTML I embedded in the Markdown?
Standard Markdown allows inline HTML to pass through, so embedded tags generally survive into the output.
