Is the markup semantic?

Yes. Headings become h1 to h6, lists become ul and ol, quotes become blockquote and tables become real table markup — not a pile of divs with classes on them.

Does it need anything else to display?

No. The file is self-contained: no stylesheet to fetch, no script, no font from a CDN and no tracking. Open it straight from your disk and it renders.

Does formatting survive when I paste from a website?

Yes. Headings, bold and italic, lists, tables and links all come across as themselves. What gets dropped is the site's own styling — its fonts, colours, classes and scripts — which the document formats could not carry anyway, and which is where pasted content usually goes wrong.

How much text can I paste?

Up to 25 MB, which is far more than any realistic document — roughly four million words. The editor shows the size as you type and tells you before you hit the limit.

Does my text get uploaded?

No. The document is built by JavaScript running in this tab, and nothing is sent anywhere. You can test that by disconnecting from the internet before you press convert — it still works.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no limit on how many documents you make, and no watermark on the output.

How to use it

1
Type or paste your text
Paste from a web page and the structure comes with it — stripped of that page's classes, styles and scripts.
2
Format it however you like
Headings, bold, italic, underline and strikethrough, bullet and numbered lists, quotes, code blocks, tables and links — applied straight to the text on screen. There is no markup to learn and no preview to switch to: what you are looking at is the document.
3
Create the HTML
Press Create HTML and the file downloads. Open it in a browser, upload it as-is, or copy the markup into whatever you are working in.

When this is the right tool

For a single page that needs no build step. Documentation you want to hand over as a file, an email body that has to be HTML, or content for a CMS that accepts markup — all cases where a static site generator is more machinery than the job needs.

The output is deliberately plain. There are no utility classes, no wrapper divs and no inline styles to unpick, so it drops into an existing stylesheet without fighting it.

What the formatting actually does

Each control marks up real structure, and the converter carries that into the HTML. A heading becomes a heading in the file's outline, not just larger text; a bullet list becomes a real list; a table becomes a table with cells.

That matters more than it sounds. Structure is what lets a screen reader announce your headings, a PDF reader build a navigation pane, and Word show an outline you can collapse. Text that has merely been made bigger and bolder has none of that.

Headings: Three levels, which is as deep as most documents need. They become the document's outline.
Lists: Bulleted and numbered. Numbered lists renumber themselves as you add and remove items.
Emphasis: Bold, italic, underline and strikethrough, applied to whatever you have selected.
Blocks: Quotes, fenced code blocks, tables and horizontal rules, all rendered as their real equivalents.

What it will not do

There is no control for typeface, text size or colour on individual words, and that is deliberate rather than unfinished. Those would be per-word styling, and the honest position is that a button which silently does nothing is worse than one that is not there.

Document-level choices — page size and the typeface for the whole document — are in the settings panel beside the editor, because they apply to the finished file rather than to a selection.

Images cannot be placed from the editor. Everything here is text you typed or pasted, which is also why nothing has to be uploaded.
