Publishing workflow

Convert Markdown into practical email HTML

Email clients do not behave like normal browsers. A good conversion needs simple structure, inline-friendly styles, and a plain content review.

What makes email HTML different

Email clients render HTML with old engine rules: no JavaScript, no external stylesheets, and limited CSS support. Tables and inline styles are the reliable building blocks, which is why a converter that produces email-safe markup matters.

The tool builds a layout that renders consistently across Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail, with fallbacks for the features each client lacks.

  • Inline styles instead of stylesheet classes
  • Table-based layout instead of flex or grid
  • Alt text on images for blocked-image clients
  • Plain-text fallback for clients that refuse HTML
03

Email-specific limitations

  • Some clients ignore modern CSS
  • Dark mode can change colors
  • Large images can break layout
  • Complex tables are difficult on mobile
04

Improve compatibility

  • Keep layout simple
  • Include meaningful link text
  • Provide alt text for images
  • Test major target email clients

Frequently asked questions

Why does my Markdown email look broken in Outlook?

Outlook uses Word rendering and ignores many modern CSS rules. Email-safe HTML uses tables and inline styles, which the converter produces.

Can I include images in the converted email?

Yes. Images are referenced by URL; keep the URLs absolute and publicly reachable so mail clients can load them.

Does the converter add tracking or external code?

No. The output is a self-contained HTML email body with no scripts, tracking pixels, or external dependencies.

Is my Markdown uploaded?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser.

06

Draft conversion stays local

The Markdown conversion runs in the browser. Final delivery and tracking depend on the email platform you choose.
