How to use the Markdown to HTML
Preview the HTML Output

Click the copy button to grab the clean HTML source code. When you convert markdown to HTML online, the output is semantic, accessible HTML5 ready for any website or CMS.
How this tool works
marked converts Markdown syntax to HTML, then sanitizeHtml removes unsafe elements and attributes before preview rendering.
- Engine: marked parser plus the site's HTML sanitizer
- Supported input: CommonMark-style Markdown supported by marked
- Output: HTML source, sanitized browser preview
- Input
- # Hello **Private** draft
- Output
- <h1>Hello</h1> followed by a paragraph containing <strong>Private</strong>
Limits, edge cases, and troubleshooting
Use it for documentation and publishing drafts. Inspect the copied HTML in the destination system because its CSS and Markdown extensions may differ.
- The document must fit in browser memory.
- The preview removes scripts, event handlers, dangerous URLs, and unsupported markup; themes and extensions can render differently elsewhere.
When to use another workflow
Use the target static-site generator or Markdown pipeline when plugins, frontmatter, syntax highlighting, or exact production parity is required.
| Option | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| This browser tool | Quick, private, one-off work | Limited by browser memory and the documented feature set |
| Desktop or command-line tool | Batch jobs and repeatable automation | Requires installation and setup |
