About MARKDOWN to HTM Conversion

MD (introduced 2004) and HTM are both document formats, but they differ in important ways. Markdown is a lightweight markup language used by developers, README files, and documentation. HTM is a widely used file format.

When you convert MD to HTM, the goal is to convert between formats quickly. Converting MD to HTM maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings. Understanding these technical differences helps you choose the right format for your workflow.

CocoConvert's converter handles the entire pipeline server-side using FFmpeg, Sharp, and qpdf — battle-tested libraries used by streaming platforms and enterprise tools. Files are encrypted in transit and deleted within 24 hours.
