What this tool does

Renders Markdown as you type, side by side with the source — headings, formatting, lists, links, images, code blocks, tables, and more, updating live. Switch to the HTML tab to see and copy the actual generated markup once you're happy with the result.

How to use it

  1. Write or paste Markdown on the left.
  2. Watch the rendered preview update on the right.
  3. Switch to the HTML tab to see the generated markup, and copy it from there.

How the safety here actually works

Rendering Markdown as live HTML is a genuinely different risk than the other tools on this site, because the whole point is to display real, formatted markup rather than inert text — and Markdown itself can contain raw HTML, including something like a script tag. This tool runs everything through a dedicated HTML sanitizer before it's ever displayed, which strips executable content (scripts, event-handler attributes, dangerous URL schemes) while preserving normal formatting. This wasn't just assumed to work: real attack payloads were tested directly against this exact pipeline — a raw script tag, an image with an error handler, a javascript: link, an SVG with an embedded script, and several others — and confirmed neutralized before this tool went live.

Questions

Is this Markdown Preview free?

Yes, completely, with no signup and no limit on how much you write.

Is my writing uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing and rendering both happen entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server. You can confirm this yourself by watching your browser's Network tab while using the tool.

Is it safe to preview Markdown from a source I don't fully trust?

Yes, deliberately. Markdown can contain raw HTML, and a preview tool that renders that HTML without care is a real cross-site-scripting risk — pasted content containing a script tag could otherwise execute right there on the page. Everything rendered here is passed through a dedicated, widely-used HTML sanitizer first, which strips scripts, event-handler attributes, and other executable content while keeping normal formatting intact. This was verified directly: real attack payloads (script tags, image error handlers, javascript: links, and several others) were tested against this exact pipeline and confirmed neutralized before this tool shipped.

What Markdown syntax does it support?

The common set: headings, bold and italic, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, inline code and fenced code blocks, horizontal rules, and GitHub-flavored extras like tables and strikethrough.

How do I get the HTML out?

Switch the output pane to the HTML tab to see the actual generated markup, and copy it from there — the Preview tab shows the rendered result, not the source you'd paste elsewhere.
