Free tool · Markdown viewer online
Open any .md file — read it like a document
Drop a .md file or paste Markdown and view it formatted — headings, lists, tables, code. A free md viewer that runs entirely in your browser: print it, or publish it as a live page.
An .md file is a plain-text document written in Markdown — the format used by READMEs, technical docs, and the reports AI assistants export. Any text editor can open it, but it reads better rendered: drop the file into this free online markdown viewer and it displays as a formatted document, nothing uploaded.

How it works
How to open an .md file
Drop the file in
Drag the .md file onto the box above — or click to pick it from your computer. It’s read locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded to a server.
Read it as a document
The Markdown renders instantly: headings, lists, tables, and code blocks formatted like a real document instead of raw text full of # and ** symbols.
Print it — or publish it
Print a clean copy, download it as a styled HTML file, or publish it as a live page you can share with a link instead of forwarding the file.
Why .md is everywhere
AI assistants hand you .md files daily
READMEs, project plans, research reports, ChatGPT and Claude exports — more and more of what you receive is Markdown. An online markdown viewer turns those raw files into something you can actually read, print, and share.
READMEs & docs
Every repo, starter kit, and AI-scaffolded project ships a README.md. Render it here to actually read it before you run anything.
AI chat exports
Claude and ChatGPT hand over plans, reports, and research as .md files. Open them as formatted documents instead of squinting at raw text.
Notes & changelogs
Release notes, meeting notes, knowledge-base pages — Markdown is the default format for working text. A viewer makes it readable anywhere.
The next step
From md viewer to live page
Reading is half the job — sometimes the document needs to go to someone else. Convert it, publish it, and send a link instead of a file attachment.
Convert it to HTML
Need the raw HTML source, not just a view? Paste the Markdown into the converter and copy or download clean HTML.
Markdown to HTML → →Publish it as a tracked link
Download the HTML, drop it on the publish box, and send a live link — with opens and viewer analytics, noindex by default.
Publish HTML → →Make it a real page
A rendered document is one step from a one-page website. See how HTML goes from file to live site — no Git, no build step.
HTML to website → →Opening .md files — FAQ
What is an .md file? +
An .md file is a plain-text file written in Markdown, a lightweight formatting syntax. The text is readable as-is, with symbols standing in for formatting: # marks a heading, ** marks bold, - starts a list item. README files, technical docs, and AI chat exports commonly use it.
How do I open an .md file on Windows or Mac? +
Any text editor opens it — Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac — but you’ll see raw symbols instead of formatting. To read it as a formatted document, open this markdown viewer in your browser and drop the file in. Nothing to install on either system.
How do I open an .md file on my phone? +
Use the browser. This markdown viewer works on iPhone and Android — open the page, tap to pick the .md file from your downloads or files app, and it renders as a formatted document you can read or print to PDF.
Is my file private? +
Yes. The file is rendered locally in your browser — it’s never uploaded to or stored on a server. It only leaves your device if you explicitly choose to publish it as a page.
Can I convert the .md file to HTML? +
Yes — the Download HTML button saves exactly what you’re viewing as a standalone, styled .html file. If you want to paste Markdown and copy the raw HTML source instead, use the free Markdown to HTML converter.
Turn the next .md into a link.
Read it here, then publish it as a tracked page — noindex by default, free to start, no signup.
