Markdown to HTML Converter
Convert Markdown syntax into clean, standard-compliant HTML5 markup with optional full document templating, GFM table conversion, and safe sanitization.
Client-Side Markdown to HTML5 Compiler
Markdown is the standard format for technical writing, documentation, and content authoring. When publishing to websites, CMS platforms, or email templates, compiling Markdown into well-structured, valid HTML is essential.
This converter runs purely in your browser, transforming standard Markdown and GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) into clean HTML. It handles tables, code blocks, task lists, blockquotes, headings, images, and links with instant visual rendering or raw code export.
Core Tool Capabilities
- Full GFM Feature Support: Converts tables, strikethrough, task lists ([x]), fenced code blocks, and blockquotes accurately.
- Dual Code & Preview Modes: Switch between raw formatted HTML source code and a live rendered visual preview instantly.
- HTML5 Document Wrapper: Optionally generate complete standalone HTML documents with doctype, meta charset, viewport, and title tags.
- Safe Raw HTML Escaping: Sanitizes embedded raw HTML tags to prevent cross-site scripting when converting untrusted input.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this tool support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) tables?
- Yes. GFM table syntax with pipe delimiters and column alignments is fully supported and converted into standard <table>, <thead>, and <tbody> elements.
- Can I generate a complete standalone HTML document?
- Yes. Enable the 'Full HTML5 Document' checkbox in the toolbar to wrap your output with <!DOCTYPE html>, <head>, <meta charset='UTF-8'>, and custom <title> tags.
- How does it handle raw HTML inside Markdown?
- By default, raw HTML tags are escaped (`<,` / `>,`) for safety. You can disable 'Safe Raw HTML Escaping' if you wish to allow raw HTML tags through.
- Are my documents saved or uploaded anywhere?
- No. Conversion happens entirely within your web browser using pure client-side TypeScript.
