What This Tool Does
Sometimes you don't want a whole editor — you just want to see how a snippet of Markdown renders. This tool is a clean, two-pane live preview: edit on the left, see the rendered result on the right, instantly. It's perfect for checking syntax, previewing a README section, or learning how Markdown features display.
GitHub-Flavored Rendering
The preview uses a full GitHub-Flavored Markdown parser, so tables, fenced code blocks, strikethrough, task lists, and autolinks all render the way they would on GitHub. Styling matches a clean documentation theme so the preview is representative of a real published page.
Synced Scrolling
As you scroll the source, the preview follows along proportionally, keeping the section you're editing in view on both sides. You can toggle synced scrolling off if you'd rather scroll the panes independently.
Common Use Cases
- Syntax checking: confirm a table or code block renders correctly.
- Learning Markdown: experiment and see results immediately.
- Quick previews: paste a file and read it rendered.
- Snippet drafting: compose a section before pasting it elsewhere.
Tips
- Use the preview to verify alignment and links before committing a doc.
- Upload a file to read long Markdown comfortably rendered.
- For heavier editing with a toolbar and export, use the Online Markdown Editor.
