Markdown to HTML Converter — Free, Standalone File, In Your Browser

The exported file is a standalone HTML document

Not a fragment you have to wrap. The export writes a complete HTML document — <!DOCTYPE html>, <html>, <head> with embedded styles, and the rendered article inside <body>. Two verifiable properties:

Opens directly: double-click the downloaded file and it renders in any browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — with no server, no internet connection, no extra files.
Styles travel with it: the CSS is embedded inside the file's <style> block (table borders, code block shading, blockquote styling), so the page looks the same on any machine.

What converts, and how it comes out

Markdown element	In the HTML file
# H1, ## H2, ### H3	Semantic heading tags, styled with the embedded CSS
Tables (GFM pipes)	HTML tables with borders and cell padding (embedded CSS)
Code blocks (fenced)	Dark-background `<pre>` blocks with syntax-highlight spans
Bold / italic	`<strong>` / `<em>` tags
Ordered / unordered lists	`<ol>` / `<ul>` with list items
Blockquotes	`<blockquote>` with accent border styling
Links	Real `<a href>` tags, opening in new tabs
Chinese / CJK text	Correct — HTML is UTF-8 text, browsers render CJK natively

Known limits, stated plainly

Relative-path images break offline — image references point at their original URLs; if the source page is gone or the path was relative, the image won't load in the exported file.
The embedded styles are fixed — one clean style (system font, max-width 820px, dark code blocks). You can edit the <style> block in any text editor after export.
Emoji are stripped — the same policy as our PDF export.
Mermaid diagrams export as rendered — the image captured from the page; the source syntax is not preserved in the HTML.
HTML to Markdown (the reverse direction) is a different tool and is not on this page.

Five ways people say this — one tool

Whether you searched for markdown to html, convert markdown to html, convert md to html, markdown to html converter, or md to html converter — this page is that converter. The output is a standalone HTML file that opens in any browser without a server; the conversion happens in this tab, so your document never touches a server.

Three input routes

Paste Markdown source into the box and hit Render paste.
Drop a .md / .markdown / .txt file onto the dashed area.
Fetch a raw URL (raw.githubusercontent.com works).

Then hit Export HTML in the toolbar. The .html file downloads instantly.

FAQ

How do I convert Markdown to HTML for free?

Open this page, paste your Markdown or drop your .md file, hit Render, then hit Export HTML. The standalone .html file downloads to your device — free, no account, no limits.

Is the exported HTML a complete file?

Yes — it includes <!DOCTYPE html>, <head> with embedded styles, and the full rendered article. Double-click it and it opens in any browser as a formatted page; you don't need to wrap it in a template.

Can I convert Markdown to HTML without uploading it?

Yes — the conversion runs by JavaScript inside this tab. Your document and the generated HTML file both stay on your device; no server sees either.

Do tables keep their borders in the HTML file?

Yes — tables export as HTML tables with borders and cell padding from the embedded stylesheet, not as plain text.

Does Chinese text work in the exported HTML?

Yes — the file declares UTF-8 in its meta tag, and browsers render CJK natively. Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean all carry through.

Can I edit the exported HTML?

Yes — it's a plain text file. Open it in any editor, change the markup or the embedded <style> block, and save. The styles are all in one place at the top of the file.
