Markdown Editor

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that lets you format text using simple, plain-text syntax. You should use it because it's fast (keep your hands on the keyboard), portable (works everywhere), version-control friendly (perfect for Git), and future-proof (plain text never becomes obsolete). It's the standard for technical documentation, README files, and content writing.

GFM is GitHub's extended version of Markdown. It adds powerful features like tables, task lists (checkboxes), strikethrough text, autolinks (URLs automatically become links), and syntax-highlighted code blocks. Our editor fully supports GFM, so your content will look perfect on GitHub.

Absolutely not. Your content stays 100% in your browser's memory. Nothing is ever sent to our servers, nothing is logged, nothing is stored. Once you close the tab, your content is gone. This makes our editor perfect for sensitive documents, private notes, and confidential content. Your privacy is guaranteed.

No! No account, no email, no password, no registration of any kind. Just open the page and start writing. We believe tools should be accessible without barriers. Your time is valuable—spend it writing, not filling out forms.

Yes! After the initial page load, the editor works entirely in your browser. If you keep the tab open, you can continue writing even without an internet connection. Perfect for working on flights, in cafes, or anywhere with unreliable connectivity.

We support essential keyboard shortcuts for faster writing:

• Ctrl+B — Bold selected text
• Ctrl+I — Italic selected text
• Tab — Insert indentation
• Ctrl+Z — Undo
• Ctrl+Y — Redo
• Ctrl+A — Select all

Creating tables is easy with GFM syntax. Use pipes | to separate columns and dashes - for the header separator:

| Name  | Age | City    |
|-------|-----|---------|
| Alice | 25  | New York|
| Bob   | 30  | London  |

You can also click the table button in the toolbar to insert a template.

Use triple backticks before and after your code. Add the language name after the opening backticks for syntax highlighting:

```javascript
function greet(name) {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
}
```

Supported languages include JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, Java, C++, and many more.

Yes! Use the image syntax: ![alt text](image-url.jpg). Replace "alt text" with a description (for accessibility) and "image-url.jpg" with your image URL. You can also click the image button in the toolbar to insert the template. Note that images must be hosted online—Markdown doesn't embed images directly.

We offer three export options:

• Copy HTML — Copies the rendered HTML to your clipboard for pasting into websites or email
• Download .md — Saves your raw Markdown file for use in other editors or platforms
• Download .html — Saves a complete, standalone HTML document ready for publishing

Yes! Our editor is fully responsive and works great on smartphones and tablets. The split-pane view automatically switches to a stacked layout on smaller screens, and all buttons are touch-friendly. Write Markdown on the go, wherever you are.

Yes, completely free! No registration, no usage limits, no hidden fees, no premium tier, no ads. We believe everyone should have access to quality tools. Use it as much as you want, for any purpose—personal, educational, or commercial. There's no catch.

Markdown is simpler. HTML uses verbose tags like <strong>text</strong>, while Markdown uses simple syntax like **text**. Markdown is designed to be readable as plain text, while HTML is designed for browsers. Our editor lets you write in Markdown and export to HTML—get the best of both worlds!

Yes, absolutely. Since all processing happens locally in your browser and nothing is sent to any server, this editor is safe for sensitive content like passwords, API keys, private notes, draft documents, and confidential information. Your data never leaves your device.

Yes! The editor automatically adapts to your system preferences. If your device is set to dark mode, the editor will use a dark theme. This reduces eye strain during late-night writing sessions and matches your preferred aesthetic.
