THREE SIMPLE STEPS

How to write and convert Markdown

Write or open

Start typing, use the toolbar or shortcuts, or open a Markdown, Word, HTML or PDF file to turn it into Markdown.

Check the preview

The preview updates as you type and scrolls with the editor. Tick tasks in the preview, double-click it to jump to the source.

Export

Download a PDF with your page size, header and page numbers, a Word document, a standalone HTML page or the Markdown file itself.

Tips for better Markdown

Add a table of contents

Type [TOC] on its own line. It lists every heading and links to it, in the preview, the PDF and the Word file.

Let Tab format tables

Inside a table, Tab moves to the next cell and lines the columns up. Tab in the last cell adds a row.

Paste from the web

Copy a section of a web page or a document and paste it: headings, links, lists and tables arrive as Markdown.

Markdown editor FAQ

Is this Markdown editor free?

Yes. Every feature and export is free, with no account, no limits on documents and no watermark.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. Editing, previews, imports and exports run in your browser, and documents are saved in this browser's storage on your device. Pictures are only loaded from the web when your text links to them. Export a file to keep a copy elsewhere.

Which Markdown does it support?

CommonMark with GitHub additions: tables, task lists, strikethrough, footnotes and automatic links. Also LaTeX math between $ signs, Mermaid diagrams in ```mermaid blocks, YAML front matter and a [TOC] line for a table of contents. Raw HTML is shown, without scripts.

How good is the PDF?

It is laid out as a real document: selectable text with embedded fonts (including Chinese, Japanese and Korean), your page size and margins, a header and footer, page numbers, coloured code, and math and diagrams as sharp pictures.

Can I convert Word to Markdown?

Yes. Open a .docx file: headings, bold and italic, lists, tables, links, pictures, footnotes, quotes, code and most equations become Markdown. Page layout such as columns, text boxes and headers is not kept.

Can I convert a PDF to Markdown?

Yes, for PDFs that contain text. Headings are recognised by size, and lists, simple tables and code are detected. Scanned PDFs have no text to read; run them through OCR first.

Where are pasted pictures kept?

In this browser, linked from the text by a short reference, so documents stay readable. When you export, the pictures go into the PDF, Word or HTML file, or into a .zip next to the Markdown.

Does it work offline and on a phone?

Once the page has loaded, editing and saving keep working without a connection; PDF export needs to download its fonts the first time. On a phone, switch between the editor and the preview with the tabs.
