Markdown Viewer
Open a Markdown file and see it rendered as a formatted document.
Reading Markdown as it's meant to look
A Markdown file is plain text sprinkled with formatting marks, so opening one directly shows you the hashes and asterisks rather than the headings and bold text they represent. This renders a Markdown file properly, turning those marks into a formatted document you can actually read — headings, lists, links, code blocks and all.
Drop in a Markdown file and it is displayed as formatted text.
Viewer, editor or preview
There is a tool for each way of working with Markdown. This viewer opens an existing .md file and shows it formatted, ideal for reading a README or a document someone sent you. The editor is for writing Markdown from scratch with a live result, and the preview is for pasting in a snippet to check it renders. Pick the viewer when you have a file and simply want to read it the way it was meant to appear.
Common questions
What does the viewer do?
It renders a Markdown file into a formatted document — headings, lists, links and code — instead of showing the raw marks.
How is it different from the Markdown editor?
The editor is for writing with a live preview; the viewer opens an existing file and displays it formatted.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It is rendered in your browser.
