Why the HTML output is deliberately plain
Most converters wrap their output in divs, classes and inline styles that fight whatever site the HTML lands in. This editor emits only semantic tags — headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, code — so the fragment inherits the styling of its destination instead of arguing with it. Paste it into a CMS, a newsletter builder or a documentation site and it simply adopts the house style.
The same restraint is a safety feature: raw HTML in the source is shown as text rather than executed, and link targets are checked against a protocol allowlist. Converted documents from unknown sources cannot smuggle scripts into your page.
One drafting surface, many destinations
Markdown's value is writing once and publishing anywhere: the same draft becomes a GitHub README, a blog post, a knowledge-base article or an email. Draft here with the live preview, keep the .md as the source of truth, and export HTML only at the last step. It doubles as a quick markdown previewer — paste any .md file and read it rendered. When a draft needs to hit a word limit, the word counter gives reading time and per-platform limits; if your document includes data tables, the CSV to JSON converter reshapes spreadsheet exports in seconds.
Frequently asked questions
- Which markdown syntax does the editor support?
- The everyday CommonMark and GitHub set: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks with a language label, links, images, ordered and unordered lists with one level of nesting, task lists, tables, blockquotes and horizontal rules. It is the subset that covers READMEs, docs, blog drafts and notes.
- How do I convert markdown to HTML?
- Write or paste markdown on the left and the HTML preview renders live on the right. 'Copy HTML' puts the clean fragment on your clipboard — semantic tags only, no wrapper divs, no inline styles or classes — and 'Download .html' saves it as a standalone file. That fragment drops directly into a CMS, an email template or a static site.
- Is the generated HTML safe to embed?
- Yes. The converter escapes any raw HTML in the source rather than executing it, and link and image URLs pass a protocol allowlist, so script injection through a pasted document is not possible. What comes out is only the tags the converter itself emits.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. Editing, preview and conversion all run in your browser — the document never leaves your device and there is no sign-up. Saved documents (a Pro feature) live in your browser's local storage, not on a server.
- Can I use it for GitHub READMEs?
- Yes — the supported syntax matches what GitHub renders, including tables and task lists, so the preview is a faithful stand-in. Draft the README here, then paste the markdown itself into your repository; download the .md file if you prefer working with files.
- What does Toolizto Pro add to the markdown editor?
- The free tier includes the full editor, live preview, HTML copy and .md/.html download. Pro ($9.99/month or $79.99/year, covering every Toolizto tool) adds saved documents so you can keep and switch between drafts, a styled standalone HTML export with clean typography, and removes ads.
