What is a Markdown Editor?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that lets you format plain text using simple symbols — a pound sign creates a heading, double asterisks make text bold, and a hyphen starts a list. This online Markdown editor renders your syntax into formatted HTML in real time, so you always see exactly what your content will look like without switching tabs or running any build tools.
Whether you're writing a README file, documentation, a blog post, or notes, the live split-preview layout lets you write and review simultaneously. All processing happens locally in your browser — no files leave your device.
Key Features
What is Markdown and why should I use it?
Markdown is a plain-text formatting syntax designed to be readable as-is and easily converted to HTML. It's widely used for README files, documentation, blog posts, and note-taking. Because it's plain text, it works in any editor and the resulting HTML is clean and semantic.
Does this editor support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
Yes. This editor supports GitHub Flavored Markdown including tables, fenced code blocks with language labels, task lists with checkboxes, strikethrough text, and automatic URL hyperlinking — the same syntax used in GitHub READMEs and issues.
Can I download my document as an HTML file?
Yes. Click "Download .html" to export a complete, self-contained HTML file with basic styling applied. You can also download as a raw .md file, or copy the rendered HTML to your clipboard using the "Copy HTML" button.
Is my content saved or uploaded anywhere?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your Markdown content is never sent to any server. Nothing is logged, stored, or tracked. Your content exists only in your browser tab while the page is open.
Does this Markdown editor work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the editor works fully offline. All Markdown parsing and HTML rendering happens locally with no network requests needed. You can continue writing and previewing even without an internet connection.
