What Markdown syntax does this tool support?

Standard Markdown plus GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extensions: tables, task lists (checkboxes), strikethrough text, and automatic URL linking. Headings, bold/italic, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, and fenced code blocks are all supported.

Does this tool highlight code syntax in code blocks?

Yes — fenced code blocks (using triple backticks) are automatically syntax-highlighted based on the language you specify, covering dozens of common languages like JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and more.

Is my Markdown uploaded to a server?

No. All parsing and rendering happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No network request is made and nothing you type is stored or transmitted.

Can I copy the rendered output as HTML?

Yes — click 'Copy HTML' to copy the fully rendered HTML markup to your clipboard, ready to paste into a CMS, email, or any HTML-aware editor.

Does this support raw HTML embedded in the Markdown?

No — for security, raw HTML tags typed into the Markdown source are not executed or rendered as live HTML. This prevents malicious scripts from running if you preview Markdown from an untrusted source.

Is this the same Markdown dialect GitHub uses?

Yes, this tool uses GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), the same dialect GitHub, GitLab, and most modern developer tools use for READMEs, issues, and pull requests.

Can I preview a large Markdown document, like a full README?

Yes — there's no hard size limit, though extremely large documents may render slightly slower since parsing happens on your device rather than a server.

Why doesn't my code block have syntax colors?

Syntax highlighting requires specifying a language after the opening triple backticks (for example ```js instead of just ```). Without a language hint, the code block still renders correctly but without color highlighting.

Why Use Markdown Preview?

Markdown is the standard format for READMEs, GitHub/GitLab pull requests and issues, technical documentation, and note-taking apps like Obsidian and Notion — but it's easy to lose track of exactly how headings, tables, or nested lists will actually render before you commit or publish. This tool closes that gap: paste your Markdown and see the real rendered output immediately, side by side with the source, so formatting mistakes are obvious before you ship them. It supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (the dialect used by GitHub, GitLab, and most modern tools) including tables, task lists, and strikethrough text, plus automatic syntax highlighting for fenced code blocks across dozens of programming languages. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you type is ever uploaded — and when you're happy with the result, a single click copies the rendered HTML for pasting into a CMS, email client, or documentation platform.
