About this tool

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It lets you add formatting to plain text using simple punctuation characters. The result converts to clean HTML, making it popular for README files, documentation, blog posts, and messaging platforms like Slack and GitHub.

Supported syntax

This tool uses marked.js, which supports the CommonMark spec plus GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions: tables, fenced code blocks with language hints, task lists, strikethrough, and auto-linked URLs. Most Markdown you write in any editor will render correctly here.

How to use the Copy HTML button

The Copy HTML button copies the inner HTML of the rendered preview panel. Paste it directly into a CMS, email template, or any editor that accepts raw HTML. Useful for converting documentation to embed in a web page without needing a build step.

Sync scroll

Enable Sync Scroll to keep the editor and preview panels aligned as you write. When you scroll the editor, the preview scrolls proportionally. This is helpful for long documents where you want to keep context between what you're writing and how it renders.

Privacy

Everything happens in your browser using the marked.js library loaded from jsDelivr CDN. No Markdown you type is transmitted to any server. The tool works offline after the initial page load, provided your browser has cached the marked.js script.

Frequently asked questions

What Markdown syntax is supported?

CommonMark specification: headings (#, ##, ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), links ([text](url)), images (![alt](url)), ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes (>), code inline (`code`) and fenced code blocks (```), horizontal rules (---), and tables (GitHub Flavored Markdown).

Is this a split-screen editor?

Yes — the left panel is the editor where you write Markdown, and the right panel shows the live rendered HTML preview. Both scroll independently.

Can I export the HTML?

Yes. There is a "Copy HTML" button that copies the raw HTML output of the rendered Markdown. You can paste it directly into your CMS, email template, or HTML document.

Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?

Yes — tables and strikethrough (~~text~~) from GFM are supported. Task lists (- [ ] item) may render as checkboxes depending on the browser.
