Summary — What Free Markdown to Confluence Wiki Converter Does
What This Free Tool Is
Free Markdown to Confluence Wiki Converter turns GitHub-Flavored Markdown into Atlassian Confluence wiki markup — with first-class support for GFM alerts. > [!NOTE] becomes {info}, > [!WARNING] becomes {warning}, and so on — exactly the panel macros Confluence knows how to render.
Privacy: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or cached. Close the tab and it's gone. Verify in DevTools → Network: zero requests fire.
Why It's Free (And How We Keep It Free)
Everyone using Confluence has drafted in Markdown at least once and then hit the 'where does this go' wall. Tools charging $20/month to rewrite syntax are a bad deal. This one runs in your browser for free.

Markdown to Confluence Wiki Converter Features
Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.
GFM Alerts to Confluence Panels
GitHub-Flavored Markdown alerts translate to Confluence macros automatically: > [!NOTE] → {info}, > [!WARNING] → {warning}, > [!IMPORTANT] → {note}, > [!TIP] → {tip}, > [!CAUTION] → {warning}. Every alert body is reformatted as valid wiki markup inside the panel.
For generating these alerts in your drafts, use the Free Markdown Alert Generator. Going the other way, the Free Confluence to Markdown Converter puts alerts back.
Full Wiki Grammar
Headings #–###### become h1.–h6.. Bold **x** becomes single-asterisk *x*. Italic *x* / _x_ become _x_. Strikethrough ~~x~~ becomes -x-. Inline code becomes {{code}}. Fenced blocks become {code:lang} blocks.
For Jira tickets (no panels), use the Free Markdown to Jira Converter.
Tables, Links, and Images
GFM pipe tables become Confluence tables with ||header||header|| rows and |cell|cell| data rows. Links [text](url) become [text|url]. Images  become !url|alt=alt!.
Clean up the document first with the Free Markdown Formatter or extract images with the Free Markdown Image Extractor.
Paste-ready for Confluence Editor
Use Confluence's 'Insert' → 'Markup' → 'Wiki Markup' option (or the legacy source editor on Server/Data Center) to paste the output. Confluence converts wiki markup into its own storage format on save, so the round-trip is lossless for supported elements.
For broader HTML output, see the Free Markdown to HTML Converter.
