Markdown Previewer

Type Markdown on one side and see it rendered live on the other — headings, bold, italics, lists, code blocks, and links, all previewed instantly in your browser.

What is Markdown Previewer?

Markdown is the lightweight formatting syntax behind READMEs, blog posts, chat messages, documentation, and countless other places where you want simple, readable formatting without writing raw HTML. Because Markdown is plain text, it's easy to write anywhere — but it's also easy to get the syntax slightly wrong and not notice until you've already published it.

This previewer renders your Markdown as you type, side by side with the source, so you can catch formatting mistakes immediately — a missing space after a #, an unclosed code fence, or a list that didn't separate from the paragraph above it — before you commit a README, publish a post, or send a formatted message.

Formula

# Heading → <h1>Heading</h1>
**bold** → <strong>bold</strong>
*italic* → <em>italic</em>
`code` → <code>code</code>
[text](url) → <a href="url">text</a>
- item → <ul><li>item</li></ul>

How to Calculate

  1. Type or paste your Markdown into the left panel.
  2. Watch the rendered HTML preview update instantly on the right.
  3. Adjust your syntax until the preview matches what you intended.
  4. Copy your finished Markdown source once you're happy with the result.

Example

Typing "## Hello\n\nThis is **bold** and this is *italic*." renders as a level-2 heading followed by a paragraph with bold and italic text.

Key Benefits

  • See your Markdown rendered instantly, side by side with the source
  • Catch syntax mistakes before publishing anywhere
  • Runs entirely offline in your browser — nothing is uploaded
  • Free, no sign-up, no file size limits for typical use

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting the blank line needed between a paragraph and a following list
  • Missing the space after # symbols in headings, which prevents them from rendering
  • Leaving a code fence (```) unclosed, which swallows the rest of the document as code
  • Using single asterisks for bold instead of double asterisks, producing italics instead

Pro Tips

  • Add a blank line before and after lists and code blocks for the most reliable rendering across different Markdown parsers
  • Use double asterisks for bold and single asterisks (or underscores) for italics to avoid ambiguity
  • Preview in this tool first, then check the target platform (GitHub, Slack, etc.) since some support extra syntax like tables
  • Keep headings sequential (don't skip from # to ###) for better document structure and accessibility

Key Terms Explained

CommonMark
A standardized specification of Markdown syntax, designed to reduce inconsistencies
GFM
GitHub-Flavored Markdown, an extended dialect supporting tables and task lists
Code fence
A block delimited by triple backticks (```) used to format multi-line code
Inline formatting
Formatting applied within a single line, like *italic* or `code`, as opposed to block-level elements

Common Use Cases

  • Previewing a GitHub or GitLab README before committing it
  • Drafting formatted messages for Slack, Discord, or other Markdown-supporting chat apps
  • Checking blog post or documentation formatting before publishing
  • Learning Markdown syntax by experimenting and seeing immediate results
  • Quickly converting a short Markdown snippet to HTML for pasting elsewhere

Frequently Asked Questions

What Markdown syntax does this tool support?
Headings (# through ######), bold (**text**), italics (*text*), inline code (`code`), code blocks (```), links ([text](url)), bulleted lists (- item), numbered lists (1. item), and blockquotes (> text).
Is my content saved or uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is parsed and rendered entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type is sent to any server, stored, or logged.
Why isn't my formatting showing up correctly?
Markdown requires exact syntax — for example, a blank line is needed between a paragraph and a list for many renderers to separate them correctly, and headings need a space after the # symbols. Check for missing spaces or line breaks around the formatting you're using.
Can I use this to preview a GitHub README before committing?
Yes, for the common Markdown elements this tool supports. GitHub's renderer supports some additional GitHub-Flavored Markdown extensions (like tables and task lists) that this lightweight previewer doesn't include, so always double check the final rendering on GitHub itself for anything beyond basic syntax.
