Markdown to Confluence
Paste your Markdown and get Confluence wiki markup back instantly — headings, bold/italic, links, lists, code blocks, and tables all map to Confluence's h1./*bold*/{code} syntax.
Runs entirely in your browser — files never leave your device.
How it works
- 01Paste or upload your Markdown, or click Sample to try a realistic postmortem doc.
- 02Confluence wiki markup updates automatically as you type.
- 03Copy the result and paste it into Confluence's legacy markup editor, or a text field that accepts wiki markup.
- 04Double-check tables and nested lists after pasting — see the FAQ for known limitations.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Markdown to Confluence converter free?
Yes, with no account or limits. The transformer is a small open-source-style token walker built for this site, running entirely client-side.
Does my Markdown get uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser's JavaScript engine — the text you paste never leaves your device, and nothing is sent to Atlassian or any other server (unless you use "Open from URL" to fetch a remote file, which is a direct browser request, not a server relay).
What Markdown formatting is supported?
Headings (H1-H6 as h1. through h6.), bold, italic, strikethrough, links, inline code, fenced code blocks (with language hints), bullet and numbered lists (including nesting), tables, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.
Will this work with Confluence's current editor?
It targets the legacy wiki markup dialect (h1., *bold*, {code}, ||header||) that Confluence's older markup-insert dialog and import tools understand. Confluence's current default editor stores pages as XHTML internally, not this markup, so paste behavior can vary by Confluence version — test on one page before converting a large doc set.
Does this also work for Jira formatting?
Yes — Jira's classic wiki markup shares the same headings/emphasis/tables/code syntax as Confluence, so this converter's output pastes correctly into a Jira comment or description field too. For Jira-specific wording and caveats, use the dedicated Markdown to Jira converter instead.
What are the known limitations?
Table cells containing a literal pipe character are escaped but not guaranteed to render identically in every Confluence or Jira version, and deeply nested lists (3+ levels) may need manual touch-up after pasting.

Need a Jira-specific version?
This converter’s output also works for Jira comments and descriptions — Jira’s classic wiki markup shares the same syntax as Confluence’s. For Jira-specific wording, caveats, and a dedicated page, use Markdown to Jira.
