Markdown & HTML

This page offers four free tools for moving between Markdown and HTML. Markdown preview shows a safe preview, Markdown to HTML converts into sanitized HTML, and HTML to Markdown turns HTML into readable Markdown. HTML to Text extracts the readable text from a fragment. They suit writers, documentation teams, and developers who clean or adapt content. They need no sign-up and stay in the browser.

Choose according to the conversion direction. Markdown preview helps you write and see the result. Markdown to HTML produces sanitized HTML for a page. HTML to Markdown recovers readable content from existing HTML. HTML to Text isolates the useful text, for example for a simple export. Start with the preview if you are writing, then use a conversion when the content must change format.

How to use

  1. Start with Markdown preview to write content and check formatting in a safe preview before any conversion.
  2. When the content must become a page, use Markdown to HTML to get sanitized HTML.
  3. To reuse existing content, go through HTML to Markdown if you want readable Markdown text.
  4. Choose HTML to Text when only the useful text must be kept, for example for a simple export.
