Open a Markdown file as a page.
No account, nothing uploaded.

Drop the .md file in or paste the text. It shows right here as a readable page; nothing leaves your browser until you ask for a link.

Drop the .md file here

One document up to 1 MB. Pictures by web address show; pictures from a folder next to it do not travel.

How it works

  1. Open the document

    Drop the .md file on the zone, choose it with the button, or paste the text. It shows at once as a readable page: headings, lists, tables, links.

  2. Read it and fix it

    Switch to Markdown to change the text; the page follows every edit. Phone shows it at a phone's width.

  3. Send it, if you need to

    Press "Send it as a link" and the document gets an address that anyone can open for 24 hours. Until you press it, nothing leaves your browser.

Why a Markdown file opens as text with symbols

Markdown is plain text with marks in it: # before a heading, * around a bold word, | between table cells. An editor or a viewer reads the marks and lays out the page. A mail app, a messenger or a phone's file preview shows the text itself, marks and all. The file is fine: it needs something that reads Markdown.

This page reads it for you. One thing does not come along: pictures the document takes from a folder next to it stay on the computer it came from, and their captions stand in their place.

What people open this page for

  • Read a .md file someone sent you

    A README, notes or a spec arrives as a file full of symbols. Drop it in to read it as a page.

  • See what an AI assistant wrote

    ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants write reports and plans in Markdown. Paste the text to read it laid out, fix a line, and send it on.

  • Check a document before you share it

    See the headings, tables and lists the way a reader will, at desktop and at phone width.
