HTML tools for writing, checking and converting markup
HTML is the foundation of every web page and HTML email, and it travels between many systems: CMS editors, React components, template engines, forums and documentation. These HTML tools help you tidy markup, see how it renders, check it for errors and convert it into the format the next system needs.
Pick the tool for your task
- Clean up markup – the HTML formatter re-indents messy or minified code; HTML minify does the opposite for production.
- Find mistakes – the HTML validator reports unclosed tags, invalid nesting and missing attributes.
- See the result – the HTML viewer renders code in a sandbox, and the online HTML editor adds a live preview while you write complete pages.
- Move to a framework – HTML to JSX converts markup for React, and HTML to Pug for Pug templates.
- Get the content out – HTML to Markdown keeps structure in a lightweight form; HTML to text produces readable plain text.
- Generate snippets – the meta tag generator writes SEO and social tags, and the HTML table generator builds table markup.
- Import documents – the Word to HTML converter turns .docx files into clean, semantic HTML.
Escaping and entity tools handle special characters, BBCode converters bridge forum content, and the responsive website tester shows a finished page at phone, tablet and desktop widths.
Example workflows
Publishing a Word document on a website: convert the .docx to HTML, tidy it with the formatter, preview it, and paste it into your CMS's source view. Clean semantic markup inherits your site's styles instead of fighting them.
Turning a design mockup into a React component: format the exported HTML, convert it to JSX, then replace repeated blocks with loops and hard-coded text with props.
Checking a page before launch: generate meta tags, validate the markup, then look at the page on several screen sizes.
HTML for email
Email clients support only a subset of HTML and CSS. Layouts are still built with tables and inline styles, and many clients ignore style blocks, web fonts and modern layout properties. Generate table markup with the table generator, preview the template in the HTML viewer, and always send a test message to real inboxes before a campaign.
HTML tips
- Use semantic elements (
header,nav,main,article,footer) and a logical heading order for accessibility and search engines. - Give every meaningful image an
alttext. - Escape user-provided text before inserting it into HTML to prevent cross-site scripting.
- Previews run in a sandboxed frame, so you can inspect unfamiliar HTML safely.
