About this tool
Type or paste Markdown on the left and see it rendered on the right, live, headings, lists, tables, code blocks, links and images, in a clean GitHub-style presentation.
Use it to sanity-check a README before pushing, draft release notes, or write docs without leaving the browser. Rendering happens locally via marked; you can also download the rendered HTML.
How it works
- Paste your input, or drop a text file onto the box.
- The output updates live as you type.
- Copy it to the clipboard, or download it as a file.
Frequently asked questions
Does this render the same way GitHub does?
Very close. Rendering uses marked with tables, fenced code blocks and other CommonMark-plus-GFM features, so a README that looks right here will look right on GitHub. GitHub-only extras like mentions and issue links stay plain text.
Can I get the HTML out, not just look at it?
Yes, Copy HTML puts the rendered markup on your clipboard and Download HTML saves it as a file, useful for pasting into a CMS or emailing a rendered doc.
Can I preview a .md file from my computer?
Drop the file straight onto the editor pane and its contents load instantly. Everything happens in the tab; the file is not sent anywhere.
