Where your input is processed
This tool processes your input in this browser. Your text and files are not uploaded to UseFreeTools. Check this tool's limits for anything it may save on your device.
Conversion is separate from publication
Scripts and unsupported active elements are omitted during inert parsing. The Markdown destination still decides how links and syntax are rendered. Check omitted tables or other meaningful structures before discarding the HTML original.
