About this tool
Open the page, you have a side-by-side editor: Markdown on the left, rendered HTML on the right. Every keystroke updates the preview. The renderer is react-markdown with the remark-gfm extension, so it handles standard CommonMark plus the GitHub extensions: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks, fenced code blocks. HTML embedded in your Markdown is sanitized through rehype-sanitize, so pasting from a sketchy source doesn't open you up to cross-site-scripting attacks. Useful when drafting a README outside the GitHub web editor, writing a blog post in a CMS that lacks live preview, or sanity-checking a Markdown email signature before sending it to a list. The editor starts with a sample document so you can see what the renderer supports before writing anything.
How to markdown preview & editor online free
-
Type or paste Markdown
Editor on the left. The page starts with a sample document so you can see what the renderer supports without having to type anything first.
-
Watch the live preview
Every keystroke updates the right pane. Headings, bold, italic, lists, links, tables, task lists, fenced code, strikethrough, blockquotes — all rendered as you type, no debounce delay.
-
Copy what you need
The Markdown source stays in your editor pane. The "Copy HTML" button at the top of the preview copies the rendered HTML to your clipboard, useful for pasting into a CMS that takes HTML but not Markdown.
-
Paste into the target
GitHub README, Substack draft, Notion page, an email, your CMS, a chat message. The source Markdown for Markdown-aware tools, the rendered HTML for the rest.
Features
Live side-by-side preview
Editor and preview share the screen. Every keystroke updates the right pane immediately — no debounce, no "render" button, no submit. The two panes scroll independently so you can keep your cursor visible while scrolling the rendered output, which matters when you're hunting for a misaligned table cell in a long document.
GitHub Flavored Markdown
Tables, task lists with checkboxes, strikethrough with ~~tilde~~, fenced code blocks with triple-backticks, and autolinks. The preview matches what GitHub shows on a README closely. Not pixel-perfect (the typography and code-block styling differ slightly), but close enough that what you see here is structurally what your repo will render.
Sanitized HTML rendering
Markdown can embed raw HTML, which is a vector for cross-site-scripting attacks if the source is untrusted. This renderer pipes the output through rehype-sanitize, which strips dangerous tags and attributes (script tags, on-event handlers, javascript: URLs) before painting to the DOM. Safe to paste from any source, including unknown third-party Markdown files.
Copy HTML output
Beyond copying the Markdown source, you can copy the rendered HTML directly via the button above the preview pane. Useful for pasting into CMSes that accept HTML but choke on Markdown, for grabbing a quick rendered snippet for an email, or for converting a one-off block of Markdown to HTML when you don't want to install a converter locally.
