About Markdown Editor

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that lets you write formatted text using plain text syntax. Created by John Gruber in 2004, it has become the standard for documentation, README files, blog posts, and content management systems. This free online Markdown editor gives you a live side-by-side preview — write Markdown on the left, see the rendered HTML on the right in real time. All processing happens in your browser — your content is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy. Whether you are drafting a GitHub README, writing a blog post, or taking notes, this editor helps you see exactly how your Markdown will look when rendered.

Common Use Cases

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown and why should I use it?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain text formatting syntax. It is readable as-is, converts cleanly to HTML, and is supported by GitHub, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Notion, and countless other platforms. You should use it because it is faster to write than HTML, universally supported, and keeps your source text human-readable.

Is my content saved or stored anywhere?

No. All editing and preview rendering happen entirely within your browser. Your Markdown text is never sent to any server, database, or third-party service. When you close the tab, the content disappears unless you download it first.

What Markdown syntax is supported?

This editor supports standard Markdown syntax including headings (# H1 to ###### H6), bold/italic text, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, blockquotes, inline code, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, horizontal rules, tables, and task lists (GitHub-flavored Markdown).

Can I export my work?

Yes. You can download your content as a .md file (raw Markdown source) or as a .html file (fully rendered HTML). Both downloads preserve all formatting and are ready to use immediately.

Does this editor support GitHub-flavored Markdown?

Yes, this editor supports common GitHub-flavored Markdown extensions including tables, task lists (checkboxes), strikethrough text, and fenced code blocks with automatic syntax highlighting. This makes it ideal for previewing GitHub README files and documentation.

Can I use this on mobile devices?

Yes, the editor is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. On smaller screens, the layout adapts to provide a comfortable editing experience while still showing the live preview.

How do I add images to my Markdown?

Use the syntax ![alt text](image-url) to embed images. For online images, paste the direct URL. For local images, you will need to upload them to an image hosting service first. You can also use our Image-to-Base64 tool to convert small images to inline Base64 data URIs.

Can I use HTML inside Markdown?

Yes, standard Markdown allows inline HTML for elements that Markdown does not natively support. You can use HTML tags like <div>, <span>, <br>, or <table> directly in your Markdown, and they will be rendered correctly in the HTML preview.
