Document Converter

Format Transformers & Archive Utilities

Convert between common document and data formats.

Input (Markdown)

Output (HTML)

Pick a source and target format, then paste or drop content on the left. The converted result appears here instantly. Conversions are best-effort and may not preserve every detail of complex documents.

What is Document Converter?

Document Converter translates text between Markdown, HTML, and plain text as you type, with side-by-side input and output panels. Paste content or drop a file, choose source and target formats, then copy or download the result. All parsing runs in your browser, so your documents never leave your device.

How to use Document Converter

  1. Choose source and target formats

    Set the Source dropdown to what you're pasting in — Markdown, HTML, or Plain text — and the Target to what you want out. The swap button flips the two and moves the current output into the input for a quick round-trip.

  2. Add your content

    Paste text into the input panel on the left, or drop a .txt, .md, or .html file to load it and auto-detect its source format. Try Load example to see a sample Markdown document.

  3. Watch the live conversion

    The output panel on the right updates instantly as you type or change formats — headings, bold, italic, inline code, links, and lists are carried across where the formats support them.

  4. Copy or download

    Use Copy to grab the converted text, or Download to save it with the right extension (.md, .html, or .txt). No conversion is uploaded — it all happens locally.
