Convert Markdown ↔ Jira Wiki Markup

About this tool

Jira's classic wiki renderer uses a syntax that looks like Markdown but is not Markdown: headings are h2. Title, bold is *bold*, inline code is {{code}}, links are [text|url], and tables use ||header|| rows. This converter turns standard Markdown into that Jira wiki markup, and can convert the common Jira subset back into Markdown when you are moving issue descriptions, comments, or runbooks between tools.

Use Direction to choose the conversion path:

• Markdown → Jira converts headings, bold/italic/strike, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, nested list markers, pipe tables, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and Note/Info/Warning/Tip panel blockquotes.
• Jira → Markdown converts the same common wiki markup subset back to portable Markdown.

Set Heading offset when you are pasting Markdown under an existing Jira page title. For example, offset 1 turns # Title into h2. Title instead of h1. Title. Leave panel blockquotes enabled to map blockquotes such as > Warning: Check this to Jira's {warning} macro.

Everything runs locally in your browser. No text is uploaded, logged, or cached by a server.

Worked example

Markdown input:

# Release notes

**Fixed:** login timeout

- Faster dashboard
- Better export

```js
console.log('done')
```

Jira wiki markup output:

h1. Release notes

*Fixed:* login timeout

* Faster dashboard
* Better export

{code:js}
console.log('done')
{code}

Limits and edge cases

This is a wiki-markup converter, not an Atlassian Document Format (ADF) JSON exporter. It intentionally keeps to syntax that has a clear Markdown equivalent. Jira-only macros such as custom {panel:title=...}, color spans, underline, superscript, subtasks, mentions, attachments, footnotes, and task checkboxes are left as plain text or documented rather than guessed. Jira and Markdown also have no shared model for table alignment, colspan/rowspan, or cell colors, so those are not preserved.
