Markdown Converter: To HTML, Plain Text and Back

Markdown is the standard for writing formatted content on GitHub, README files, blogs, technical documentation, and CMS. Our converter transforms Markdown to HTML (with syntax highlighting) and vice versa, preserving structure and semantics.

Support for GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM): tables, code blocks, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks. Includes real-time preview and export options as HTML, plain text, or clean Markdown.

Ideal for developers writing READMEs, technical writers, bloggers migrating content, or anyone who needs to convert between formats. Zero configuration, works in the browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flavor of Markdown does the converter support?

CommonMark as base + GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extensions: tables, checkbox tasks, ~~strikethrough~~, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, and autolinks.

How do I preserve HTML embedded in Markdown?

Markdown allows inline HTML. Our converter preserves it during Markdown → HTML transformation. To reverse (HTML → Markdown), we use turndown, which keeps unrecognized HTML as-is.

Can I convert Markdown to PDF here?

Not directly, but you can convert Markdown → HTML and print HTML as PDF from the browser (Ctrl+P > Save as PDF). For higher quality, use tools like pandoc or Prince XML.
