Markdown to Medium

Write or paste Markdown, see it exactly as Medium will render it, then copy it as rich text and paste straight into your Medium story — formatting intact, nothing uploaded.

How it works

Your Markdown is converted to clean HTML in your browser with the marked parser. Copy for Medium places that HTML on your clipboard as rich text, so when you paste into Medium's editor it reads the formatting — headings, bold, italics, links, lists, quotes and code blocks — instead of raw Markdown symbols.

Tip: paste into a brand-new Medium story for the cleanest result.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my Markdown into Medium?

Write or paste your Markdown on the left, then click Copy for Medium. Open a new Medium story and paste (Cmd/Ctrl+V) — headings, bold, italics, links, lists, quotes and code blocks all carry over.

Why not just paste Markdown directly?

Medium's editor doesn't understand raw Markdown syntax — pasting **bold** shows the asterisks. This tool converts it to rich HTML first, which Medium does understand, so your formatting survives the paste.

Does it work for code blocks and images?

Yes. Fenced code blocks become Medium code blocks, and image links become images. Quotes become Medium block-quotes.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your draft never leaves your device.
