Is my Markdown sent to a server?

No. All rendering happens in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.

Does the preview match GitHub Markdown rendering?

The preview covers CommonMark-compatible Markdown including fenced code blocks and strikethrough. Minor visual differences from GitHub are expected — GitHub applies its own CSS and some proprietary extensions like @mention linking.

Can I use this to preview README files?

Yes. Paste your README.md content into the editor and the right panel shows exactly how it will render as HTML.

Is there a character or file size limit?

There is no hard limit. The preview renders on every keystroke, so very large documents (tens of thousands of words) may cause a slight typing lag on slower devices. For large documents, consider pasting the content rather than typing.

Can I export the rendered HTML?

Use the Markdown to HTML converter if you need the raw HTML output. The preview is designed for visual checking, not HTML export.

Does the preview support syntax highlighting in code blocks?

The preview renders code in a monospaced font inside a code block. Full syntax highlighting requires a library like highlight.js, which is not included in order to keep the tool fast and privacy-respecting.

Does this work offline?

Yes. Once the page is loaded, the preview works without a network connection.

How do I check my word count?

Use the Markdown Word Count tool to get an accurate word count that excludes Markdown syntax characters.
