About Markdown Previewer
This tool provides a real-time Markdown-to-HTML preview. Type or paste your Markdown in the editor panel and see the rendered output instantly in the preview panel. Supports all standard Markdown syntax including headings (H1-H6), bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, inline code, code blocks with syntax highlighting, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, tables, and horizontal rules. Toggle between Editor-only, Split, and Preview-only views for focused writing or reading. You can copy the raw Markdown source or the rendered HTML output to use in your projects. The tool uses the react-markdown library for parsing and all processing happens entirely in your browser.
What Is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. The goal was a format that is readable as plain text but can also be converted to clean HTML. Instead of writing <h1>Title</h1>, you write # Title. Instead of <strong>bold</strong>, you write **bold**.
Markdown has become the standard writing format for developer documentation, README files, blog posts (Ghost, Hashnode, Dev.to), note-taking apps (Obsidian, Notion), chat platforms (Slack, Discord), and content management systems. Learning it takes about ten minutes and you will use it for the rest of your career.

GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)
GitHub extended the original Markdown specification with additional features that are now widely adopted. This previewer supports GitHub Flavored Markdown, which includes strikethrough (~~text~~), task lists (- [x] done), tables, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, and auto-linked URLs.
If you are writing README files for GitHub repositories, this previewer shows you exactly how the rendered output will look before you commit.
