What Is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It lets you write formatted text using a plain-text editor with simple syntax — asterisks for bold, hashes for headings, dashes for lists. Markdown is used everywhere: GitHub READMEs, documentation, blog posts, notes, and more.

Our Markdown preview tool renders your text in real-time as you type, using a split-view editor so you can see the source and the formatted output side by side. It supports GitHub-flavored Markdown (GFM), including tables, task lists, fenced code blocks, and strikethrough text.

Common Use Cases

GitHub READMEs — Preview your README.md before pushing to a repository
Documentation — Write and preview docs, wikis, and knowledge base articles
Blog posts — Draft blog content in Markdown before publishing
Notes — Format notes with headings, lists, and code blocks
Emails — Draft formatted text for emails and messages

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my content saved anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server and is not saved between sessions. Copy your work before closing the page.

What Markdown features are supported?

We support GitHub-flavored Markdown: headings, bold/italic, links, images, code blocks with syntax highlighting, tables, task lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and strikethrough text.

Can I export the HTML output?

Yes. Click the "Copy HTML" button to copy the rendered HTML to your clipboard. You can paste it directly into any HTML editor or CMS.
