Why use an online Markdown editor?

Online Markdown editors give you the speed of a desktop tool without the install. Open a browser tab and you're ready to write — whether you're drafting a README, a blog post, or release notes.

Markdown Viewer is built to be the default option:

  • No signup, no upload. Everything happens in your browser. Your draft never leaves your device.
  • Live, accurate preview. Powered by react-markdown with remark-gfm and rehype-highlight so what you see is what you ship.
  • Productivity tools. Built-in formatter, linter, heading outline, and table generator.
  • Fast. Server-rendered with Next.js and aggressive code splitting; the editor lazy-loads on demand.

When to use Markdown Viewer

Use Markdown Viewer when you want to:

  1. Draft a README without firing up a text editor and dev server.
  2. Format messy Markdown copy-pasted from chat or email.
  3. Preview a Markdown file someone sent you.
  4. Quickly export a Markdown note to a PDF for sharing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the online Markdown editor really free?
Yes. Markdown Viewer is free to use with no signup. It's also open source under the MIT license.
Do you store the Markdown I write?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your drafts are persisted to local storage and never sent to our servers.
Can I use the editor offline?
After the first visit the assets are cacheable, so most workflows work offline. For guaranteed offline use, install Markdown Viewer as a PWA from your browser.
Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown?
Yes — tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks, footnotes, and fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting are all supported.
