See your Markdown converted to HTML so you can preview how it will render. Supports headings, emphasis, code, links and lists.

Example

Input: ## Title\n- item one\n- item two

Output: <h2>Title</h2>\n<ul><li>item one</li><li>item two</li></ul>

How to use

Paste or type your text into the box above, then read or copy the result. Everything runs privately in your browser, your text is never uploaded to a server.

How to use this tool

1. Type or paste your Markdown into the input area.
2. Use Markdown syntax for headings, bold text, lists, links, and inline code.
3. Watch the preview update so you can see the HTML rendering immediately.
4. Adjust the source text until the preview looks the way you want.

Step by step, what happens

1. The tool reads your Markdown text as plain input, not as already formatted HTML.
2. It converts common Markdown patterns such as heading markers, emphasis, links, lists, and code into the equivalent HTML structure.
3. The preview pane shows the rendered result so you can check spacing, nesting, and link text at a glance.
4. If something looks wrong, you change the Markdown source and the preview reflects the update right away.

Worked example

Here is a simple note you might preview before pasting it into a README.

Input: # Hello This is **bold** and this is a [link](https://example.com).

1. The first line is treated as a level 1 heading.
2. The paragraph keeps normal text, makes bold text strong, and turns the link text into a clickable link in the preview.

Tips and common mistakes

• Make sure your blank lines are in the right places, because they affect how paragraphs and lists render.
• Use the correct Markdown symbols, such as # for headings and * or ** for emphasis, instead of typing raw HTML when you want Markdown previewing.
• Check links carefully, because the preview will show the visible text and the target URL exactly as written.
• If code snippets look wrong, put them in backticks so the preview does not treat the text as emphasis or a list.
