Write or paste Markdown and see a live rendered preview, plus get the raw HTML output ready to copy.
Markdown has become the default way to write formatted text quickly without touching a mouse — headings, bold and italic text, lists, and links are all created with plain-text symbols instead of a formatting toolbar. It's used everywhere from GitHub README files and Reddit comments to note-taking apps and static site generators, precisely because it stays readable even before it's converted, and converts cleanly into HTML wherever it's actually needed for display.
This tool takes Markdown input and does two things with it simultaneously: renders a live visual preview so you can see exactly how the formatted result will look, and generates the equivalent HTML source underneath so you can copy that markup directly into anywhere that expects raw HTML rather than Markdown syntax — an email template, an older CMS field, or a static HTML page. It supports the core Markdown syntax most people actually use day to day: headings (# through ###), bold (**text**) and italic (*text*), unordered lists (- item), and links ([text](url)).
It's especially useful for developers writing documentation who need to double-check how their README will render before pushing it, writers drafting in Markdown who occasionally need to paste formatted content into a tool that only accepts HTML, and anyone learning Markdown syntax who wants to see cause and effect in real time. As with the rest of this site, the conversion happens instantly in your browser with nothing sent to a server.
