Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax.

That's GitHub-flavored Markdown in action!

About Markdown Preview

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses plain-text syntax that is easy to read and write, but converts to HTML for display. Markdown is the standard for README files, GitHub/GitLab comments, documentation sites (Docusaurus, MkDocs), note-taking apps (Obsidian, Notion), and static site generators (Jekyll, Hugo). This tool provides a split-view editor: type Markdown on the left, see the rendered HTML instantly on the right. It supports GitHub-flavored Markdown, including tables, fenced code blocks, and task lists. You can copy either the source Markdown or the rendered HTML.

How It Works

  1. Type or paste Markdown in the left editor panel.
  2. The right panel renders the HTML preview live as you type — no button clicks required.
  3. Use the "Load Sample" button to see all supported syntax in action.
  4. Copy the rendered HTML with the "Copy HTML" button, or the source Markdown with "Copy Markdown".

💡 Advanced Tips & Pro Insights

  • ▸Markdown supports two types of line breaks: single newline = same paragraph; two newlines = new paragraph. Use two trailing spaces for a hard break within a paragraph.
  • ▸For code blocks, use triple backticks (`````) and optionally a language name (e.g., ```js) for syntax highlighting in most renderers.
  • ▸Escape Markdown characters by prefixing them with a backslash: \* renders as * instead of starting italic.
  • ▸GitHub-flavored Markdown adds tables, task lists, strikethrough (~~text~~), and autolinks. This tool supports those extensions.
  • ▸Always preview before publishing to catch unexpected formatting — especially in long documents with nested lists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Markdown previewer free?▾
Yes, this Markdown editor and previewer is completely free with no signup, registration, or usage limits.
Is my content safe?▾
Yes, 100% safe. All rendering happens in your browser. Your Markdown content is never sent to any server.
What is Markdown?▾
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses plain-text formatting syntax that converts to HTML. It is the standard for README files, documentation, and note-taking apps.
Does this support GitHub-flavored Markdown?▾
Yes, this tool supports GitHub-flavored extensions including tables, task lists, strikethrough (~~text~~), and fenced code blocks.
How do I insert a code block?▾
Wrap your code in triple backticks. For inline code, use single backticks: `code`. For multi-line blocks, use three backticks on their own lines around the code.
How do I create a table?▾
Use pipes (|) to separate columns and hyphens (---) to define the header separator. Example: | Name | Age |\n|------|-----|\n| John | 30 |
Can I copy the rendered HTML?▾
Yes. Click "Copy HTML" to copy the rendered HTML output, or "Copy Markdown" to copy the original Markdown source.
Is the output sanitized?▾
The raw HTML in Markdown is escaped for safety. Script tags and event handlers cannot be injected through Markdown — this prevents XSS when pasting untrusted content.
