Frequently Asked Questions

What is a live Markdown preview?▼

A live Markdown preview renders your Markdown text into formatted HTML in real time — as you type. You see the final output instantly without switching tabs or running a build command, which makes writing and proofreading much faster.

How do I copy the rendered HTML output?▼

Click the 'Copy as HTML' button in the toolbar. The full HTML representation of your Markdown document is copied to your clipboard, ready to paste into an email client, CMS, or any HTML-based system.

Which Markdown syntax is supported?▼

This editor supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM): headings (# through ###), bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, unordered/ordered lists, task lists (- [x]), tables, horizontal rules, and links.

Can I switch between split view and preview-only?▼

Yes. Use the Split / Preview Only buttons in the toolbar. Split view shows the editor and preview side-by-side (recommended for desktops). Preview-only mode is useful when you've finished editing and just want to review the rendered output.

Does this tool save my Markdown?▼

No data is saved to any server — everything runs in your browser. If you want to save your work, click 'Download .md' to save the raw Markdown file locally, or copy the HTML output for immediate use.

What is the difference between this tool and a static Markdown renderer?▼

A static renderer requires you to submit or convert your Markdown manually. This live preview updates the output on every keystroke, so there's zero lag between writing and seeing the result. It's the same developer experience you get in editors like VS Code or Notion.
