HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your Markdown files
Drag in .md files from GitHub, Obsidian, a docs folder or any editor.
02
Convert to HTML
Start the conversion. Pandoc, the standard document converter, turns the Markdown into HTML.
03
Download the HTML
Download each HTML file, or several together as one ZIP.
MD
Markdown is a plain-text writing format where symbols like # and ** mark headings and bold text.
HTML
HTML is the language of web pages, opening in any browser with headings, links, tables and images rendered.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
John Gruber created Markdown in 2004 so text could be readable as written and convertible to HTML. Headings start with #, lists with - or 1., and links use [text](url). GitHub, documentation sites, note apps like Obsidian and many static site generators use Markdown, usually with extras such as tables and fenced code blocks.
TARGET
HyperText Markup Language structures every web page. An HTML file marks text as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, tables and images, and any browser displays it without extra software. It is also what blogs, CMS editors, email builders and help-desk tools paste or import.
| Feature | MD | HTML |
|---|---|---|
| Developed by | John Gruber (2004) | W3C / WHATWG |
| File extension | .md | .html |
| Editable | Yes (text) | Yes (text) |
| Layout | None until rendered | Flows in the browser |
| Best for | Docs, READMEs, notes | Web pages and publishing |
| Opens in | Editors; GitHub renders it | Every browser |

SUPPORTED FILES
Markdown files from editors, wikis and code projects are supported.
Headings, emphasis, lists, links, images and block quotes.
Pipe tables and fenced code blocks become HTML tables and code.
Notes saved as .md files.
HTML written inside the Markdown passes through.
Upload several Markdown files and download the HTML files as a ZIP.
TROUBLESHOOTING
These are the usual causes.
01
Images referenced by a local path, such as ./img/photo.png, aren't uploaded with the Markdown. Use full image URLs, or upload the images to your site and update the paths.
02
The HTML carries structure, not a theme. Your website or CMS styles it.
03
Obsidian-style [[wiki links]] aren't standard Markdown. Convert them to normal [text](link) links.
04
Check that the table has a header row and a separator line of dashes.
05
In Markdown, lines that follow each other join into one paragraph. Leave a blank line between paragraphs, or end a line with two spaces to force a break.
06
Check the file is saved as UTF-8 text with a .md extension.
