Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor. It uses simple symbols like # for headings, ** for bold, * for italic, and - for lists. It is widely used for README files, documentation, blogs, and messaging platforms like GitHub, Reddit, and Discord.

What Markdown features are supported?

The editor supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM): headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, code blocks, inline code, tables, horizontal rules, task lists, and HTML.

Can I copy the generated HTML?

Yes. Click the Copy HTML button to copy the rendered HTML source code to your clipboard. This is useful for embedding in websites, emails, or CMS systems.

GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) is an extension of standard Markdown used by GitHub. It adds support for tables, task lists, strikethrough text, and automatic URL linking.

How It Works

This Markdown editor renders your text to HTML entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server. Type or paste Markdown in the left panel and see the formatted preview in the right panel instantly.

Full GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) support: headings (#), bold (**), italic (*), strikethrough (~~), links, images, ordered/unordered lists, task lists (- [x]), blockquotes (>), code blocks (```), inline code (`), tables, horizontal rules (---), and raw HTML.

Live Preview

The preview updates in real time as you type — no button click needed. Both panels are resizable by dragging the bottom edge. Statistics (words, characters, lines) update live.

Copy Options

Copy HTML copies the rendered HTML source code — useful for embedding in websites, emails, or CMS. Copy Markdown copies the raw Markdown text.

Privacy First

All rendering runs locally in your browser using the marked.js library. Your text never leaves your device — there are no server requests, no cookies, and no tracking.
