About Markdown Editor

What It Does

A split-pane Markdown editor with live preview. Write raw Markdown on the left and see the rendered result on the right, updating as you type. Designed for writers, bloggers, students, and anyone who works with Markdown but doesn't want to memorize every syntax detail.

Formatting Toolbar

The toolbar provides one-click access to all common Markdown formatting: bold, italic, strikethrough, headings (H1–H6 with a visual picker), ordered and unordered lists, task lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, inline code, and fenced code blocks. Select text and click a button to wrap it, or click again to toggle the formatting off.

Image Support

Insert images from a URL or from your local files. Local images are stored in the browser for the duration of your session and persist across page refreshes. You can also drag and drop images onto the editor or paste them directly from the clipboard.

When you export as a ZIP bundle, all local images are packaged alongside your document in an organized folder structure.

Export Options

• Save as Markdown — download the raw .md file
• Save as HTML — download a styled .html file you can open in any browser
• Save as ZIP bundle — your document plus all its images in one organized package
• Copy Markdown / Copy HTML — copy to clipboard for pasting elsewhere
• Print preview — opens the rendered preview in a print dialog

View Modes

• Split — editor and preview side by side (default)
• Edit — full-width editor, no preview
• Preview — full-width rendered output

On mobile, the editor switches to a tabbed layout with Edit and Preview tabs.

Auto-Save

Your document is automatically saved to your browser's local storage every few seconds. If you close the tab and come back later, your work is still there. Click "New" to start a fresh document.

Keyboard Shortcuts

All standard shortcuts work: Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I for italic, Ctrl+K for links, Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Shift+Z for undo/redo, and more. The toolbar tooltips show each shortcut.

Privacy

Everything runs in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Your documents and images are stored only in your browser's local storage.
