What this tool does
Markdown Viewer renders a Markdown file the way it is meant to look and shows the raw Markdown right beside it. See the formatted headings, lists, and links, and compare them to the source, so you can check how a README or note will appear before you publish it.
How it works
Paste your Markdown or open a file, and the viewer renders the formatted result next to the raw text in your browser. Read both side by side. Nothing is uploaded.
When to use Markdown Viewer
Previewing a README before you push it
Checking how a Markdown note will render
Comparing the source and the formatted output
Reading a .md file without a Markdown editor
FAQ
What files work?
Standard .md and .markdown files.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Rendering happens in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
