Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about processing files securely in your browser
What is Markdown and why use a live previewer?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax. A live previewer lets you compose documentation, README files, or articles while seeing the exact rendered HTML and formatting instantaneously as you type.
Does this previewer support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
Yes. It supports common GFM extensions including tables, task lists (checklists), fenced code blocks, strikethrough syntax, autolinked URLs, and blockquotes.
Can I copy rich formatted text directly into Google Docs or Word?
Yes! Use the 'Copy Formatted' option in the Copy menu. This places native HTML onto your clipboard so you can paste styled text, tables, and code directly into Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Notion, or email clients.
Can I download my work as Markdown or HTML?
Yes. You can export your document as a standalone formatted .html file (ready to open in any web browser) or download your raw .md Markdown file with a single click.
Is my document stored on a server or transmitted over the internet?
No. The editor runs 100% locally in your browser using client-side Web APIs and JavaScript. Your drafts are only saved to your browser's private localStorage for your convenience and are never sent anywhere.
