About this tool
How to use it
- Type or paste Markdown into the left editor pane, or click formatting buttons in the toolbar.
- Inspect the real-time rendered preview in the right pane, or switch to the 'HTML Source' tab to view clean HTML markup.
- Monitor live word count, character count, and estimated reading time.
- Click 'Copy HTML', 'Download .html', or 'Download .md' to export your formatted document.
Why it matters
Writing raw HTML by hand is tedious and error-prone. Markdown provides a fast, human-readable shorthand for formatted content, and a split-screen browser editor allows developers and writers to draft documentation and copy with immediate visual feedback.
When to use it
Use this tool when drafting GitHub README files, formatting blog articles, previewing changelogs, testing Markdown tables, or converting Markdown to HTML for emails.
Good to know
The parser handles CommonMark standards (headings, bold, italics, blockquotes, lists, links, code blocks) in pure vanilla JavaScript without external npm libraries.
Common questions
Can I download my rendered HTML file?
Yes. Click 'Download .html' to export your parsed markup directly as a clean standalone HTML document.
Does this editor support keyboard shortcuts?
You can select any text and click the toolbar buttons (Bold, Italic, Code, Quote) to wrap selected passages in syntax instantly.
Is my text saved or sent to a server?
No. All text parsing occurs entirely within your browser memory. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on the standard average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute.
