Markdown to HTML
Convert Markdown to HTML online, free and locally in your browser. Escaped output displays as text, not live code. No upload, no account required.
Runs locally in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to DevToolMate servers.
Escaped output
Generated tags are escaped so the result displays as text and cannot run in the page.
Developer Quick Tips
- Paste Markdown or upload.md/.txt files; output is escaped so it displays as text, not executable HTML.
- Supported: headings (#), bold (**), italic (*), inline code (`), links, lists (-). No tables or fenced code blocks.
- Download escaped HTML as.txt for safe pasting into docs, pull requests, emails, or static templates.
- Escaping converts < and > to < and > so tags appear as readable text; perfect for showing HTML examples.
- All processing runs locally in your browser; input never leaves your device and clears when you close the tab.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Markdown to HTML online?
Paste your Markdown text into the input area or upload a.md/.txt file. The tool converts Markdown syntax (headings, bold, italic, links, lists) to HTML tags, then escapes them so the output displays as text. Copy or download the escaped result.
What Markdown syntax does this tool support?
Headings (# through ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), bullet lists (- item), and paragraphs. GitHub-Flavored Markdown features like tables, task lists, fenced code blocks, and footnotes are not supported.
Why is the HTML output escaped?
Escaped output displays as text instead of rendering as live HTML. This is safer for documentation, pull requests, and email, you can see exactly what the HTML tags look like without them executing in the page. Angle brackets are converted to < and >.
Can I download the escaped HTML output?
Yes. Click the download button to save the escaped HTML as a.txt file. This is useful for pasting into static templates, documentation, or any context where you need to show HTML code as text.
Does this tool upload my Markdown to a server?
No. Markdown to HTML runs entirely in your browser. Your input is processed locally and never uploaded to DevToolMate servers or any external service.
Is Markdown to HTML free and do I need an account?
Yes, it is completely free with no account required. Processing stays on your device, and you can use the tool as many times as you want.
Will my Markdown input be saved after I close the tab?
No. Input stays in memory only for the current session. Closing the tab clears all tool input. Your browser theme preference is stored locally but is not tool data.
