> A Markdown to HTML converter turns Markdown into clean HTML and converts HTML back into Markdown, with a live rendered preview — all in your browser with no upload.

Write or paste Markdown and get the HTML instantly, with a rendered preview so you can see exactly how it looks; or switch direction to turn existing HTML into tidy Markdown. GitHub-flavored Markdown — tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, autolinks — is supported. Conversion runs locally via the marked and Turndown libraries, so drafts, client work, and internal docs are never uploaded.

## Features

- Markdown to HTML with GitHub-flavored syntax
- HTML to Markdown reverse conversion
- Live rendered preview of the result
- One-click Swap between directions
- Copy the converted output
- Runs entirely in your browser — content never uploaded

## Use cases

- Turning a README or note into HTML for a CMS or email
- Converting pasted HTML into clean Markdown for docs
- Previewing how Markdown will render before publishing
- Migrating content between Markdown and HTML systems

## How to use it

1. **Choose a direction** — Markdown to HTML, or Swap for HTML to Markdown.
2. **Type or paste** — Enter your content in the input pane.
3. **Copy or preview** — Copy the output and check the rendered preview below.

## When to use it, and when to use something else

- **vs A Markdown editor app** — use Markdown to HTML when you need a quick one-off conversion in the browser, in either direction. Use A Markdown editor app when you want a full writing environment with file management.
- **vs Pandoc** — use Markdown to HTML when you want an instant web UI with a live preview and nothing to install. Use Pandoc when you need dozens of formats or scripted batch conversion.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does it support GitHub-flavored Markdown?

Yes. Tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, and autolinks are handled by the marked parser, matching how GitHub renders Markdown.

### Can it convert HTML back to Markdown?

Yes. Hit Swap and paste HTML; the Turndown library converts it to clean Markdown, preserving headings, lists, links, and code blocks.

### Is the HTML output ready to publish?

It's standard, portable HTML generated from your Markdown. Because Markdown can embed raw HTML, review the output before rendering it on a page that displays other people's content.

### Is my content uploaded anywhere?

No. Both conversions and the rendered preview happen locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
