Rendered safely
Markdown can contain raw HTML, and raw HTML can contain scripts. Before anything is displayed, the generated HTML is passed through DOMPurify — the standard sanitizer — which removes script tags, event handlers like onerror, javascript: links and other executable content. What you see rendered is what is left after that pass, and the tool tells you when something was removed.
Your own images still load
If your Markdown links an image on the web, your browser fetches that image to display it, exactly as it would on any page. That is your own content being shown to you — your document is never sent anywhere. If you would rather nothing loaded at all, remove the image links before pasting.
Copy the HTML
The Copy HTML button gives you the sanitized markup behind the preview. For a complete standalone file with a doctype and head, use Markdown to HTML instead.
Your text never leaves your device
Parsing, sanitizing and rendering all happen in your browser. Nothing is uploaded and there is no server to send it to.
Questions about Markdown preview
- Is it safe to preview Markdown from someone else?
- Yes. The rendered HTML is sanitized with DOMPurify first, which strips scripts, event handlers and javascript: URLs. A document that tries to run code will render as inert text or not at all, and a notice tells you something was removed.
- Why did some of my HTML disappear?
- Because it could execute. Script tags, on* handlers and javascript: links are removed. Ordinary formatting HTML is kept.
- Does it render GitHub-Flavored Markdown?
- Yes — tables, strikethrough, task lists and fenced code blocks all render, using the same parser settings as the other tools here.
- Is there a size limit?
- 500,000 characters. The preview re-renders as you type, so the limit keeps that instant on very long documents.
- Can I get a full HTML file out of it?
- Copy HTML gives you the rendered markup. For a complete document with doctype and head, use Markdown to HTML.
Need a file, not a preview?
Markdown to HTML gives you a complete, downloadable HTML document.
