How this service works
Convert Markdown to sanitized HTML that is safe to embed directly in a page, email or app. GFM supported: tables, task lists, strikethrough, fenced code. Output passes a strict tag/attribute allowlist: scripts, styles, iframes, event handlers and javascript: URLs are removed; links keep only http(s)/mailto targets, images only http(s) or base64 image data URIs. Send JSON {markdown} or a raw text/markdown body, max 2 MB. Returns {html}.
Output
Returns a JSON object {html} containing the sanitized HTML string derived from the input markdown, with scripts, styles, iframes, event handlers, and javascript: URLs removed, and links/images restricted to safe URL schemes.

Sanitize markdown for email newsletters
“I'm building an email newsletter where editors write content in GitHub Flavored Markdown, including task lists and strikethrough text. Before I inject their draft into the HTML email template, convert this to sanitized HTML with all dangerous tags stripped out: '## This Week

> Check the release notes for details.'”
Embed documentation markdown in web app

```bash
npm install mylib

Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://402utils.com/v1/md-to-html?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to safely render user-generated or untrusted markdown into HTML for embedding in web pages, emails, or apps, and XSS safety is a requirement. Ideal when GitHub Flavored Markdown features like tables, task lists, strikethrough, and fenced code blocks need to be supported. Prefer over generic markdown libraries when you need a server-side, hosted, pay-per-call solution with a strict security allowlist already built in.
Side effects
- Input exceeds 2 MB limit — request rejected

- Invalid Content-Type not matching JSON or text/markdown — may cause parse failure
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC — 402 payment required response
- Network timeout for very large markdown inputs near the size limit
