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 is required

There is no sign-up, sign-in, or account of any kind. 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. The runtime Content Security Policy blocks third-party scripts, third-party connections, and third-party frames.

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 capture document content, because document content is never transmitted to the server.

Avoid sensitive content on shared devices

Because processing is local, you should avoid processing sensitive content on shared or untrusted devices. Use the Start over button when you are finished to clear locally held content from the application state.
