Markdown to HTML in 3 Steps
From paste to a working HTML file in about 15 seconds. No build pipeline, no Pandoc install, no markdown plugin.
Paste Your Markdown
Open md2doc.com and paste markdown into the left panel. The right panel shows the rendered HTML live as you type.
Click Download .html
Press "Download .html". You get a standalone .html file with the markup plus embedded CSS — opens correctly in every browser.
Embed, Publish, Email
Open it in a browser, paste the body into WordPress or Ghost, drop it into a static site, or send as an HTML email.
What You Get: Clean, Semantic HTML
No <div> soup. Headings become heading tags. Tables become real table elements. Lists become real lists. The output is the kind of HTML you'd write by hand.

Markdown to HTML FAQ
How do I convert markdown to HTML?
Paste your markdown into md2doc.com and click "Download .html". You'll get a standalone HTML file with embedded CSS — open it in any browser or paste it into your CMS.
What HTML flavor does MD2Doc produce?
Clean, semantic HTML5. Heading tags (<h1> through <h6>), real <table> elements, real <ul>/<ol> elements, <blockquote>, <pre><code>, and <a>. CSS is embedded for instant styling — strip it if you want raw markup.
Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown tables?
Yes. Pipe-style tables, fenced code blocks, strikethrough, autolinks, and task lists are all supported. Tables become real HTML table elements with styled borders and proper alignment.
Can I paste the HTML into WordPress, Ghost, or Notion?
Yes. Use the "Copy Formatted Text" button to copy the rendered output. Pasting into WordPress, Ghost, Medium, Notion, Google Docs, or HelpScout preserves the formatting — headings stay headings, tables stay tables.
What about syntax highlighting for code blocks?
MD2Doc preserves the language fence (e.g. ```python) on the code block, but doesn't ship a syntax highlighter — that keeps the output lightweight. Most blogs and CMSes apply their own highlighter (Prism, Highlight.js, Shiki) on top of the rendered HTML.
Can I also get the same content as PDF or Word?
Yes. The same paste produces a PDF, Word document, or Google Doc. Pick whichever format your audience needs.
Can I use MD2Doc from inside Claude Code?
Yes. MD2Doc has a remote MCP server. Run claude mcp add --transport sse md2doc https://md2doc.com/mcp/sse once. Claude Code can then convert markdown to HTML (or PDF, Word, Google Docs) automatically. Learn more →
Is the HTML download free?
Yes. MD2Doc is completely free with no sign-up. Paste markdown, click download, get HTML. Text is processed and returned — never stored on the server.
