View Markdown instantly

Paste Markdown on the left. It renders on the right. Copy it into Google Docs or download Word, PDF and HTML.

ViewMarkdown is a free Markdown viewer and live editor. Paste any Markdown, including output from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or a GitHub README, and see it rendered as a formatted document as you type.

Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, there is no account, and nothing is sent to a server while you work.

How it works

  1. Paste or type Markdown into the left pane, or drop a .md file onto the page.
  2. Read the rendered document in the right pane. Headings, lists, tables, code blocks and task lists all work.
  3. Click Copy to paste the formatted text into Google Docs, Gmail, Notion or Slack, or download it as Word, PDF, HTML or .md.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Markdown viewer?

A Markdown viewer renders Markdown syntax, like # for headings and ** for bold, as formatted text so you can read it the way it was meant to look. ViewMarkdown also lets you edit and export the result.

How do I open a .md file?

Drag the file onto this page, or click Open and choose it. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded.

Does my text get uploaded anywhere?

No. Rendering, copying and every export happen in your browser. Your text is not sent to any server.

Can I paste ChatGPT or Claude output here?

Yes. That is the most common use. Paste the raw text with all the # and ** symbols and it will render as a clean document you can copy into Google Docs or Word.

Which Markdown features are supported?

GitHub-flavored Markdown: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, task lists, tables, block quotes, inline code, fenced code blocks and horizontal rules. Raw HTML is disabled for safety.

Is it free?

Yes, completely. No sign-up, no limits, no watermark.
