About the Markdown Previewer

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that converts plain text to HTML. It is used everywhere — GitHub READMEs, documentation, blog posts, note-taking apps like Notion and Obsidian, and messaging platforms like Slack and Discord.

This previewer supports GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM): headers, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, code blocks with syntax hints, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, tables, and horizontal rules. The preview updates as you type with no delay.

Type or paste your Markdown in the left panel and the rendered HTML preview appears on the right in real time. The panels stay in sync as you edit. Useful for drafting GitHub README files, writing blog posts in Markdown-based systems like Jekyll or Hugo, testing formatting before pasting into Notion or Confluence, or learning Markdown syntax by experimenting live.

The toolbar buttons insert common Markdown syntax — bold, italic, heading, code, link, and image — at the cursor position so you don't need to remember the exact syntax while drafting. Everything stays in your browser and nothing is saved to a server.
