About MD
MD
MD (Markdown) is a lightweight plain-text markup language created by John Gruber, designed to be easily converted to HTML and other structured formats. Markdown uses simple punctuation characters to denote headings, lists, code blocks, links, and emphasis, and is the de facto format for README files, documentation, blogs, and static site generators such as Jekyll and Hugo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Markdown (MD) file?▼
Markdown is a plain-text format that uses simple symbols for formatting — hash for headings, asterisks for bold. It is loved by developers and writers because it is readable as text and converts cleanly to HTML and rich documents.
Why convert Markdown to HTML?▼
HTML is what browsers render. Converting MD to HTML turns your readable text file into a styled web page you can publish, preview, or embed anywhere.
Why convert Markdown to PDF?▼
PDF gives you a finished, shareable document with headings, lists, and formatting rendered nicely — perfect for sharing notes, README files, or documentation with non-technical readers.
Can I edit a Markdown file?▼
Yes — Markdown is plain text, so any text editor works. It is intentionally readable even before conversion, which is why developers and writers use it for notes and documentation.
Are my Markdown files uploaded during conversion?▼
Never. Conversion happens locally in your browser — your notes and drafts stay private.
