Which tool do you need?
- Seven tools, each built for one job rather than one tool that half-does seven.
- Everything runs in your browser, so your text never reaches a server.
- The table below matches what you have against what you want.
- All of them are free, with no account and no usage limit.
Pick the row that matches your situation. Most people arrive wanting one specific conversion, and guessing between similar names wastes more time than reading a table.
| You have | You want | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Markdown text | Clean HTML to paste into a CMS | Markdown to HTML |
| Markdown text | A printable or shareable PDF | Markdown to PDF |
| HTML from a page or editor | Markdown you can version-control | HTML to Markdown |
| Nothing yet | A table built from scratch | Table generator |
| A table in Excel, Sheets or CSV | The same table as Markdown | Table to Markdown |
| A long document with headings | A linked table of contents | TOC generator |
| A .md file somebody sent you | To read it formatted | Markdown viewer |
| An idea | To write it with live preview | The editor |
The two table tools are opposites
This trips people up more than anything else here. The table generator builds a table from an empty grid, so use it when the data is still in your head. The table converter takes a table you already have and turns it into Markdown, so use it when the data is already in a spreadsheet.
Tip: Not sure which syntax the output should use? The syntax reference puts every element on one page, and the syntax guide explains each one in order.
Why these run in your browser
Nothing is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload to
Every tool here converts, generates or renders locally using JavaScript in your own tab. There is no upload endpoint at all. A draft contract, an internal runbook or an unpublished post is therefore as private here as it is in a text editor on your own machine.
That design has a second benefit: the tools keep working after the page has loaded, even if your connection drops.
Where the browser reaches its limits
It is worth being straight about the trade-off:
- PDF output uses your browser's own print engine, so page size and margins are set in the print dialog rather than by us.
- HTML to Markdown is lossy by nature. Nested tables, inline styles, forms and iframes have no Markdown equivalent.
- Very large files are limited by your device's memory, not by a server quota.
Each tool page says plainly where its own boundary sits and what to reach for instead, usually Pandoc, once you cross it.
If you want a full writing environment
These are single-purpose converters. For actual writing, the Markdown editor on the homepage gives you live preview, autosave and the same export options in one place.
