How It Works
This tool renders Markdown as live HTML preview side-by-side as you type, supporting headings, formatting, lists, code blocks, and tables — useful for writing README files, documentation, or any Markdown-based content before publishing.
What's supported
Standard Markdown syntax is supported: headings (#), bold/italic/strikethrough, links and images, ordered and unordered lists, inline code and fenced code blocks, blockquotes, tables, and horizontal rules — covering the common syntax used across GitHub READMEs, documentation sites, and most Markdown-based blogging platforms.
View modes
Split view shows the raw Markdown and rendered HTML side by side for real-time editing. Source view focuses purely on writing without the distraction of a live preview panel. Preview view shows only the final rendered result — useful for reviewing exactly what a reader will see.
Examples
Writing a README file
Drafting a project's README.md in Split view to see exactly how headings, code blocks, and lists will render on GitHub before committing the file.
Getting HTML output for another platform
Writing content in Markdown for its convenience, then clicking Copy HTML to paste the rendered output into a platform that doesn't natively support Markdown but does accept HTML.
Common Use Cases
- Writing and previewing README files, documentation, or wiki pages before publishing
- Converting Markdown content into HTML for use on platforms that don't natively render Markdown
- Learning or teaching Markdown syntax with instant visual feedback
Tips
- Content isn't saved between sessions — copy your work (either the Markdown source or the rendered HTML) before closing the tab, since refreshing or navigating away will lose unsaved work.
- Different platforms sometimes support slightly different Markdown extensions (like GitHub's task lists or footnotes) beyond the common core syntax — if your Markdown is destined for a specific platform, double-check any platform-specific syntax renders as expected there too.
