# Markdown to HTML Converter: Transform MD to Clean HTML

Markdown is great for writing, but at some point you need HTML — for email templates, CMS content, README badges, or embedding in a web page. FreeToolJet's Markdown to HTML Converter converts Markdown to clean, semantic HTML in your browser.

Supported Markdown Syntax

• Headers: # H1 through ###### H6
• Bold: bold → <strong>bold</strong>
• Italic: *italic* → <em>italic</em>
• Strikethrough: ~~text~~ → <del>text</del>
• Links: text → <a href="url">text</a>
• Images: !alt → <img src="src" alt="alt" />
• Code blocks: `lang ...` → <pre><code>
• Inline code: `code` → <code>code</code>`
• Lists: - item → <ul><li>item</li></ul>
• Blockquotes: > quote → <blockquote>quote</blockquote>
• Horizontal rules: --- → <hr />

Output Modes

• Raw HTML: Clean HTML ready for use in templates and CMS editors.
• Escaped HTML: HTML entities displayed as text — useful for documentation and tutorials where you want to show the HTML source.

When to Convert Markdown to HTML

• Email templates: Most email builders require HTML, not Markdown.
• CMS content: WordPress, Ghost, and other CMS platforms accept HTML in their editors.
• Static site generators: Some SSGs need pre-converted HTML for shortcodes and embeds.
• Documentation: Convert README files to HTML for web hosting.
