Markdown ↔ HTML Converter - Free, Online, Local

This tool turns Markdown into HTML or HTML back into Markdown so you can move content between docs, CMSs, and email without hand-editing tags. It runs in your browser, so drafts stay private.

1. Choose direction: Select “Markdown → HTML” or “HTML → Markdown.”
2. Paste content: Drop your Markdown or HTML into the main box.
3. Sanitize (optional): Leave sanitization on to strip scripts/iframes/style tags from pasted HTML.
4. Copy output: Grab the converted result and paste it into your CMS, editor, or email.

• Fast round-trips: Swap formats in one click instead of manual find/replace.
• Safer HTML: Optional sanitization removes risky tags from unknown sources.
• Offline-friendly: All processing stays in your browser; no uploads.

Use case 1: CMS import

Draft in Markdown, convert to HTML, and paste into a WYSIWYG that expects tags.

Use case 2: Email cleanup

Strip risky tags from pasted HTML before sending to a mailing platform.

Use case 3: Docs round-trip

Copy HTML snippets from design handoffs, convert to Markdown, and drop into your repo.

Basic example (Markdown → HTML)

Input:

# Title

**Bold** and *italic* with a [link](https://textavia.com).

Output: <h1>Title</h1><p><strong>Bold</strong> and <em>italic</em> with a <a href="https://textavia.com">link</a>.</p>

HTML → Markdown

Input: <h2>Subhead</h2><p>Paragraph with <strong>bold</strong> text.</p>
Output:

## Subhead

Paragraph with **bold** text.

Script/style tags still present

Turn on “Strip scripts/iframe/object” to remove them before conversion.

Lists collapsing

If a pasted list was malformed HTML, fix the source first; this converter assumes valid list tags.

• Keep links clean: convert, then run URLs through the URL encoder if you add parameters.
• For long docs, convert section by section to keep context clear.
• If you see double line breaks in Markdown, trim trailing spaces in the source HTML.

• Tidy URLs with the URL encoder/decoder.
• Remove hidden formatting from pasted text with the remove formatting tool.
• Count words and characters after conversion with the sentence counter.

All conversion and sanitization happen locally in your browser. No content is uploaded or stored.
