Free Online Markdown Previewer — Write and Preview Markdown Instantly

What Is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that lets you write formatted text using plain characters. Created by John Gruber in 2004, it's now the default writing format for GitHub READMEs, documentation sites, static site generators, and many CMS platforms.

Instead of clicking Bold in a toolbar, you write **bold**. Instead of inserting a heading, you write # My Heading. The result is clean, readable plain text that renders to beautiful HTML.

Markdown Syntax Quick Reference

• # H1, ## H2, ### H3 — headings
• **bold**, *italic*
• [link text](https://url.com) — hyperlink
• ![alt](image.png) — image
• - item or * item — unordered list
• 1. item — ordered list
• `code` — inline code
• ```language ... ``` — code block
• > text — blockquote
• --- — horizontal rule
