You get an .html file holding only the converted content: headings, lists, tables and links as plain HTML tags, with no page wrapper and no styling.
To convert md to html, add your Markdown file, keep HTML as the output and download the result. The output is an HTML fragment, not a finished web page. It has no doctype, head, body or stylesheet, so you paste it into a page or template of your own. In our test a 787-byte md file became a 2,150-byte html file in 3.3 seconds, and raw HTML written inside the Markdown was removed.
Transfers use HTTPS, and files converted on the free tier are deleted after 24 hours, so the result is not a long-term archive. Quality depends on the source file, so open the HTML file once before you share it.
MD (Markdown)
A plain-text file where headings, lists, links, tables and code are marked with ordinary punctuation such as # and *. It has no page size, fonts or page breaks, so a reader or converter decides how it looks. Markdown is a family of dialects rather than one standard: CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown are the best known.
HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
The markup language of the web. The converted file holds the content as tags such as h1, p, ul and table. Browsers draw those tags with their own default look unless you add a stylesheet.
A 787-byte Markdown sample note that we wrote, converted on indox.org
In our test headings became h1 and h2, a pipe table became a table with rows, nested and ordered lists became li items, a block quote became blockquote and links became a elements. The same file has 1 h1, 5 h2, 8 li and 5 links in the output.
A task list became a list with disabled checkboxes, one of them ticked. Text in double tildes became a del tag, and a footnote became a footnotes section with a link back to the reference.
Columns marked left, centre or right in the Markdown table came out with a text-align style on their cells, so the alignment survives without any stylesheet.
A fenced python block became a pre element with the code split into token spans carrying class names. No stylesheet comes with it, so the code shows uncoloured until you add colours for those classes.
Drop the .md file on the box or choose it from your device. A one-off conversion needs no account. In our test a visitor who was not signed in converted a file without being asked to sign in.
Check that HTML is the output format, then start the conversion and wait for Completed. In our test that took 3.3 seconds for the 787-byte sample.
Save the .html file and paste its contents into your page, template or content system, then link your own stylesheet. Opened alone, the file shows plain browser defaults.
You hand over a Markdown file and take away the HTML for it, with nothing to install and no command line. The page tells you before you upload what the output is: a bare fragment, without styling, from which raw HTML and front matter are removed.
The upload box shows the live size limit before you add a file. Signing in raises it; a paid plan does not change it.
MD in, HTML out. Pick another output on the converter if you need a different format.
Files are encrypted in transit over HTTPS and processed on indox infrastructure.
Free-tier files are kept for 24 hours after the job finishes, then deleted automatically.
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The page looks plain, with no styling | The output is a fragment with no CSS | Paste it into a page that links your own stylesheet |
| Code has no colours | Token classes are written but no stylesheet is supplied | Add CSS for the classes, or a highlighter, in your page |
| Some of my HTML is missing | Raw HTML is removed during conversion | Rewrite that part in Markdown syntax |
| A stray closing tag shows as text | A lone closing div is left as visible text after its opening tag is dropped | Remove the HTML wrapper from the Markdown and style it in your page |
| I need a PDF instead | The output here is HTML | Use MD to PDF |

| Compared on | MD | HTML |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A plain-text file marked with punctuation such as # and * | Tagged text that a browser turns into a page |
| Standard | Several dialects, with CommonMark as a written spec | Maintained web standard |
| Styling | None; the reader or converter decides | Tags carry structure; looks come from CSS |
| Where it opens | Any text editor; a viewer shows the formatting | Browsers, email tools and CMS editors |
| Converting between them | Our output is a bare fragment | Paste it into a page that has a stylesheet |

No tool matches that search.
Add the .md file, keep HTML as the output and download the result. You get an .html file with the converted content. Open it in an editor and paste it into your page or template.
Yes. md is the usual file extension and Markdown is the name of the format, so both searches mean the same conversion and give the same file.
A fragment. In our test the output had no doctype, no html, head or body tags and no stylesheet. It holds only the converted content, so wrap it in a page of your own.
In our test, yes. A pipe table became a table with its column alignment kept, a task list became disabled checkboxes, and a footnote became a footnotes section. We checked those on one sample file, so a very different Markdown dialect may behave differently.
The converter marks keywords and strings with class names on span tags, but it does not send a stylesheet. Add CSS for those classes in your page, or use a highlighting library that you already trust.
It is removed. In our test an opening div tag was dropped, a stray closing tag appeared as visible text, and inline b and script tags were shown as escaped text instead of running. Use Markdown syntax for what you need.
It is dropped. In our test the YAML block, title included, did not appear in the HTML, so add the page title yourself.
