Private Markdown Converter is designed to process Markdown and HTML with as little data collection as practical. The tool runs entirely in your browser.

Markdown, HTML, and exported content are processed in the browser

When you type, paste, or import a Markdown or HTML file, the content is read in-memory by JavaScript in your browser tab. Parsing, rendering, sanitization, preview generation, and export file generation all happen locally.

The application does not upload or store imported content

Private Markdown Converter does not have a backend that receives your Markdown or HTML. No network request is made that contains your content. Content is not written to local storage by default. Start over clears locally held content from the application state.

No account required

Private Markdown Converter does not require an account and does not offer login. There is no sign-up, sign-in, user profile, or per-user data store. The tool is a free public utility.

No advertising or third-party tracking

Private Markdown Converter does not load Google Analytics, advertising scripts, session-recording tools, or third-party marketing scripts. There are no third-party trackers on the page.

Sanitization removes scripts and unsafe embedded content

All rendered and pasted HTML is sanitized before preview and export. Scripts, iframes, embedded objects, forms, event handlers, and unsafe URL schemes are removed. External links receive rel="noopener noreferrer" and target="_blank". Remote images are not loaded in exports by default.

Server request logs

When you load the site, your browser requests the static HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and image assets that make up the application. Standard web server request logs may record the URL, time, IP address, and user agent of those asset requests. These logs do not intentionally capture the content you process, because that content is never transmitted to the server.

Avoid sensitive data on shared devices

Because processing is local, you should avoid processing sensitive data on shared or untrusted devices. Browser history, extensions, or device management software outside our control could retain information you enter.

Use the Start over button when you are finished to clear locally held content from the application state.
