Why convert Markdown to HTML

Markdown is the writing format; HTML is the publishing format. Most CMS editors, newsletter tools and documentation systems accept raw HTML but not Markdown, so a quick conversion bridges the two.

The renderer follows CommonMark with GitHub extensions and produces clean output: no inline styles, semantic tags, optional CSS classes for code highlighting, and a choice between a fragment and a full standalone document.

How it works

  1. Drop Markdown, TXT files onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
  2. Adjust the options if you need to — the defaults suit most cases.
  3. Press Convert. The work happens on your device, so speed depends on your computer or phone.
  4. Download the HTML — individually or all at once.

About the formats

Markdown · Markdown text · .md

Lightweight text formatting used on GitHub, in note apps and documentation: # for headings, * for lists, links in brackets.

  • Markdown has several dialects; GitHub-Flavored Markdown adds tables, task lists and strikethrough.
  • Because the source is plain text, Markdown files diff and version well in Git.
  • Rendering Markdown to HTML is the first step of most Markdown to PDF conversions.

TXT · Plain text · .txt

Just characters, no formatting: the most portable format there is, opened by every editor ever written.

  • Plain text has no fonts, colours or images; only the words, line breaks and tabs survive.
  • Encoding matters: UTF-8 is the modern default; older Windows files may use Windows-1252 and show odd characters for accented letters.
  • Line endings differ between Windows (CRLF) and macOS/Linux (LF), which some tools care about.

HTML · HyperText Markup Language · .html

The language of web pages: text with tags for headings, links, images and tables, rendered by a browser.

  • An HTML file often references external CSS and images; converting it to PDF works best when they are embedded or online.
  • Saved web pages may include scripts that behave differently offline.
  • Semantic HTML (headings, lists, tables) converts cleanly to Word and PDF; layout built from nested divs does not.
