Markdown to Clean HTML

Some converters wrap everything in <div> soup with random class names. Our 'clean HTML' mode outputs only semantic tags - <h1>, <h2>, <p>, <ul>, <strong>, <em>, <a>, <code>, <pre>, <blockquote>, <hr>, <table> - with no extra wrappers, classes, or framework-specific markup. Drop into any CMS, email template, or static site cleanly.

When to use this

Use when: importing markdown content into a CMS that adds its own styling (WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Ghost), preparing HTML for an email newsletter (Mailchimp / SES / Substack), generating clean output for static-site builders that don't want classes, building accessible markup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does 'clean' mean unstyled?

Yes - the HTML has no class names, no inline styles, no framework-specific attributes. Your CMS / site CSS applies its own styles based on the semantic tag names. This is exactly what most CMSs want when importing content.

Will the output validate as HTML5?

Yes - all output uses HTML5-valid tags and structure. No deprecated elements (<font>, <center>), no invalid nesting (<p> inside <p>), no missing required attributes. Run it through validator.w3.org to verify.
