Frequently asked questions
Is this safe? Do my files get uploaded?
No upload happens — ever. Rendering your Markdown runs entirely inside your browser. Your documents never leave your device, nothing is stored on any server, and the tool keeps working if you go offline after the page loads. That's also why there are no file size limits, no queues and no sign-up.
How do I open an .md file someone sent me?
Drop it on this page (or click to browse) and it renders instantly with formatting — headings, tables, checklists, code. An .md file is plain text, so double-clicking it on your computer usually opens a code editor or nothing at all; a viewer like this one shows it the way the author intended.
Can I open several files or a whole folder?
Yes — drop multiple .md files or select a folder, and a file list appears beside the document so you can switch between them. Handy for reading the documentation folder an AI coding agent just generated, or a vault of notes.
Can I print the rendered document or save it as a PDF?
Click Print for a clean print view (no site chrome, just the document) — your browser's print dialog can also save it as a quick PDF. For a finished PDF with page numbers, a cover page and a table of contents, use the Markdown to PDF converter instead.
Is the rendering GitHub-flavored?
Yes — tables, task lists, strikethrough, footnotes, syntax-highlighted code blocks, and Mermaid diagrams all render, plus LaTeX math. If a README looks right on GitHub, it looks right here.
What is a Markdown file?
Markdown is a plain-text format that marks structure with simple punctuation — # for headings, ** for bold, - for lists. It has become the native output format of the AI era: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and coding agents all write Markdown, GitHub renders it, and note apps like Obsidian store everything in it. A .md file is just text, which is why it opens in any editor but looks unformatted without a renderer like this one.
Is there a file size or quantity limit?
There is no hard limit. Server-based converters cap uploads because your files consume their bandwidth and CPU; here the work happens on your machine, so the only practical limit is your device's memory. Even book-length documents convert in seconds — text is light work for a modern browser.
