Changelog Generator
Build a CHANGELOG.md following the Keep a Changelog format — add versions, dates, and categorized change entries with a live preview
About this ToolHow it works, benefits & use casesTap to collapse
Assemble a CHANGELOG.md that follows the Keep a Changelog convention without hand-writing Markdown. Add one or more version blocks, each with a version number and a release date, and within each version add change entries categorised as Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, or Security. The generator groups entries by category in the canonical order, emits the standard header that links to keepachangelog.com and semver.org, and renders everything in a live Markdown preview that updates as you type. Versions are sorted with any unreleased section first and released versions in descending numeric order. Supply a GitHub project URL and it appends version-comparison footer links (compare/v1.0.0...v1.1.0 and a releases/tag link for the oldest version). Your project name, URL, and every version and entry persist locally so the document survives a refresh, and the result downloads straight to CHANGELOG.md.
How to Use
- 1Fill in the optional Project name and GitHub Project URL at the top.
- 2For each release, set the Version and Date, then click Add change to add entries.
- 3For each entry, pick a category (Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, or Security) and type the description.
- 4Use Add version for additional releases; the preview groups and sorts everything automatically.
- 5Review the live CHANGELOG.md preview, then copy or download it — or Reset all to start over.

It follows Keep a Changelog (v1.0.0). The output opens with the standard intro that links to keepachangelog.com and semver.org, then lists each version as a "## [version] - date" heading with changes grouped under "### Added", "### Changed", and so on.
The six Keep a Changelog categories: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, and Security. Within each version your entries are grouped by category and emitted in that canonical order, regardless of the order you entered them.
