Markdown to HTML Converter - Turn MD into Web Pages Instantly

Markdown is a lightweight markup language for formatting text (headers, lists, links, code blocks). It is widely used in documentation, READMEs, and static site generators. Converting Markdown to HTML lets you publish it on the web.

Common Markdown Features

  • Headers - H1, H2, H3 with hash symbols
  • Lists - ordered (1. 2. 3.) and unordered (- item)
  • Links - [text](url) format
  • Code blocks - inline and fenced blocks with syntax highlighting
  • Tables - GFM extension, supported by most parsers
  • Images - ![alt](url) format

Markdown Dialects

Original Markdown (by John Gruber) is vague on some features. GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) adds tables, strikethrough, task lists, and auto-linked URLs. SnapSum uses a GFM-compatible parser so GitHub-style Markdown renders correctly.
