Frequently asked questions
Is my Markdown sent anywhere?
No. Markdown Previewer runs entirely in your browser — your Markdown is converted to HTML locally and is never uploaded to a server.
Which flavor of Markdown does it support?
The preview is powered by the marked library, which follows the CommonMark spec with GitHub-Flavored-Markdown-style extensions such as tables, fenced code blocks, and strikethrough. It covers the vast majority of everyday Markdown you'll write.
Can I use this to write README files or documentation?
Yes. It's a great way to check how your README, blog post, or documentation will look before you commit it or publish it elsewhere.
Does it support tables and images?
Yes, tables and images are both parsed and rendered. Image tags will only display if the image URL you reference is publicly reachable, since nothing is uploaded from your browser.
Why is the preview HTML rendered directly instead of shown as plain text?
Because rendering the actual HTML is the point of a live preview — it shows you exactly what your Markdown will look like once published. This happens entirely locally, and only you ever see the result.
