Markdown to HTML Converter

Q: What Markdown syntax is supported?

Headings h1–h6, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, bullet lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and paragraphs with line breaks. Tables, ordered lists, and images are not converted yet.

Q: Why is my output one big paragraph?

Blocks must be separated by a blank line. A single newline becomes a inside the same paragraph; only an empty line starts a new . Add blank lines between headings, lists, and paragraphs.

Markdown Input

HTML Output

<h1>Hello World</h1> <p>This is <strong>bold</strong> and <em>italic</em> text.</p> <ul><li>Item one</li> <li>Item two</li> <li>Item three</li> </ul> <a href="https://usetoolz.app">Visit UseToolz</a> <blockquote>A blockquote example</blockquote> <hr /> <p><code>inline code</code> and:</p> <pre><code>console.log("Hello!"); </code></pre>

Markdown In, HTML Out — Live

Paste or type Markdown on the left and the raw HTML appears on the right instantly — no convert button, no page reload. The output is plain, unstyled HTML you can copy straight into a CMS, an email template, or a static site. A quick example:

Markdown	HTML output
`## Release Notes`	`<h2>Release Notes</h2>`
`bold and italic`	`<strong>bold</strong> and <em>italic</em>`
`[docs](https://example.com)`	`<a href="https://example.com">docs</a>`
`- item`	`<ul><li>item</li></ul>`

Supported Syntax

Element	Markdown
Headings h1–h6	`#` through `######`
Bold / italic / strikethrough	`text` / `text` / `~~text~~`
Inline code	`code`
Fenced code block	```js … ``` → `<pre><code>`
Link	`[text](url)`
Bullet list	`- item` or `* item`
Blockquote	`> quoted line`
Horizontal rule	`---` on its own line

Tables, ordered lists, and images aren't converted yet — those lines pass through as plain paragraph text, so handle them manually or in your target system.

Paragraphs and Line Breaks

The converter follows standard Markdown block logic: a blank line starts a new <p> paragraph, while a single line break inside a block becomes <br />. If your output looks like one giant paragraph, you're missing blank lines between blocks — the most common Markdown formatting mistake.

Practical Tips

Order your emphasis markers: write **bold** before nesting — ***both*** can parse unexpectedly in edge cases, as in most lightweight converters.
Space after the marker: #Heading (no space) is not a heading; # Heading is. Same for -item vs. - item and >quote vs. > quote.
Escape literal HTML first: the converter doesn't sanitize input, so if your Markdown contains raw < or & that should display literally, run it through the HTML encoder before or after converting.

Everything runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server. Drafting the content itself? Check its length with the word counter or generate filler with the lorem ipsum generator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Markdown syntax is supported?

Headings h1–h6, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, bullet lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and paragraphs with line breaks. Tables, ordered lists, and images are not converted yet.

Why is my output one big paragraph?

Blocks must be separated by a blank line. A single newline becomes a <br /> inside the same paragraph; only an empty line starts a new <p>. Add blank lines between headings, lists, and paragraphs.

Can I preview a GitHub README with this?

Yes, for the core syntax — headings, emphasis, lists, links, and code blocks render the same way. GitHub-specific extensions like tables, task lists, and automatic linking are not supported here.

Does the output include CSS or styling?

No — you get clean, semantic HTML tags only (<h2>, <strong>, <ul>, <pre><code> and so on). Styling is up to the page where you paste it, which keeps the output portable.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser with no server round-trip — safe for internal docs, drafts, and unpublished content.
