Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Markdown to HTML converter free?
Yes! Markdown Free is 100% free with no hidden costs, premium tiers, credit packs, or signup requirements.
Does my Markdown get uploaded to a server?
No. HTML conversion runs entirely in your browser — your Markdown never leaves your device. That's also why the download is instant.
What kind of HTML do I get?
A single self-contained .html file with clean embedded styling that matches the preview. Open it in any browser, attach it to an email, or copy the markup into your own site or CMS.
Are tables, code blocks, and task lists supported?
Yes. GitHub Flavored Markdown is fully supported — tables, fenced code blocks, task-list checkboxes, blockquotes, and links all convert to proper HTML elements.
Is the generated HTML safe to publish?
Yes. All output is sanitized with GitHub's HTML schema (rehype-sanitize), so script tags and other dangerous markup are stripped before the file is generated.
Is there a file size limit?
Documents up to 1MB of Markdown are supported — that covers virtually any real-world README, article, or documentation file.
