Markdown to HTML Converter
Paste your Markdown to instantly generate clean HTML for WordPress or CMS.
Turn Markdown into HTML you can paste into a CMS
Markdown is the fastest way to write structured text and the slowest thing to get into a client's CMS, because most editors mangle it on paste. Converting to clean HTML first sidesteps the problem: you get the heading levels, lists and links you actually wrote, without the inline styling that copying from a word processor drags along with it. Conversion runs in your browser, which matters when the draft is an unpublished article you were paid to write.
How This Local-First Tool Works
- The output is structural HTML — headings, paragraphs, lists, links, emphasis — with no inline styles or class names, so it inherits the site's own typography instead of fighting it.
- Heading levels are preserved as written. If your draft starts at ## rather than #, the output starts at h2, which is usually correct for a CMS that supplies the h1 from the post title.
- Pasting from Google Docs or Word into a CMS carries hidden span tags and font declarations. Going through Markdown strips all of that, which is why the round trip is worth the extra step.
- Reference-style links and footnotes resolve into ordinary anchors, so the result works in any editor rather than only in one that understands Markdown.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why not paste Markdown straight into WordPress?
- The block editor interprets some Markdown as you type but not reliably on paste, and it silently drops constructs it does not recognise. Converting to HTML first means what you see is what the CMS stores.
- Will the HTML carry my styling?
- No, and that is deliberate. The output is semantic markup with no inline CSS, so it takes on the styling of wherever you paste it. If you need specific formatting, apply it in the destination rather than baking it into the markup.
- Is my draft uploaded anywhere?
- No. The conversion runs in your browser. For a ghostwritten or embargoed piece, that is the difference between a private draft and one that has been submitted to an unknown service.
- Does it support tables and code blocks?
- Yes — GitHub-flavoured constructs including tables, fenced code blocks and task lists convert to their standard HTML equivalents. Code blocks come out as pre and code elements without a highlighter attached, which is what most CMS themes expect.
