About This Tool

The Markdown Previewer is a free online tool that lets you write and preview Markdown in real time. Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber that allows you to format text using plain-text syntax. It is widely used for README files, documentation, forum posts, and note-taking.

This tool supports the full range of basic Markdown syntax: headings (H1–H6), bold and italic text, inline code and fenced code blocks, hyperlinks, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.

All parsing happens entirely in your browser — your content is never uploaded to any server. You can download your work as a .md file or copy the generated HTML for use anywhere.

How to Use

  1. Write Markdown — Type or paste your Markdown text into the left editor panel. The preview updates automatically as you type.
  2. Use the toolbar — Click any toolbar button (Bold, Italic, Heading, etc.) to insert Markdown syntax at your cursor position. You can also use keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+B for bold and Ctrl+I for italic.
  3. Load a sample — Click Load Sample to see a demo Markdown document that showcases all supported syntax.
  4. Download or copy — Use the Download .md button to save your Markdown file, or Copy HTML to copy the rendered HTML to your clipboard.
