Everything you need to know about converting Markdown to HTML.

We support the full GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) specification, including headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, task lists, tables with column alignment, code blocks with language hints, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your content never leaves your device. There is no server request, no data storage, and no tracking.

The converter generates clean, semantic HTML. Headings become h1–h6 elements, paragraphs become p elements, lists become ul/ol/li elements, tables use table/thead/tbody structure, and code blocks use pre and code elements. The output is ready for any website, CMS, or email template.

Yes. The Download button generates a full HTML document with proper DOCTYPE, head, and body tags — ready to open in any browser. The Copy button copies just the HTML fragment for embedding in existing pages.

Code blocks with language hints (e.g. ```javascript) are converted to pre/code tags with the appropriate language class. You can pair the output with any syntax highlighting library like Prism.js or highlight.js for styled code display.

Absolutely. GFM tables with column alignment (left, center, right) are converted to proper HTML table elements with thead, tbody, and alignment attributes preserved.

Yes. The converter produces clean, semantic HTML that you can paste directly into the WordPress block editor (Custom HTML block), Mailchimp, Substack, or any CMS that accepts raw HTML. Use the Copy button to grab just the HTML fragment, without the document wrapper.

Paste your README content into the editor and click Download. You will get a complete .html file with proper DOCTYPE, head, and body tags that you can open in any browser or host on your own server.
