Markdown Reader FAQ
What is a Markdown file?
+
Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. It is widely used for README files, documentation, and technical writing. Files typically have .md or .markdown extensions.
Do I need any special software?
+
No! Our Markdown reader works entirely in your browser. You do not need any software installed. Just upload your .md file and see it beautifully rendered instantly.
Are my files uploaded to your server?
+
No, your files stay completely on your device. The Markdown reader processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript - nothing is uploaded to any server. Your privacy is fully protected.
What Markdown features are supported?
+
Our reader supports full GitHub Flavored Markdown including headings, bold, italics, links, images, code blocks, tables, blockquotes, lists, and more. Syntax highlighting is available for code blocks.
Can I convert Markdown to other formats?
+
Yes! You can convert Markdown to PDF, HTML, Word (DOCX), EPUB, and more. Visit our Markdown converter page to explore all available conversion options.
Can I process multiple files?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Does it work on mobile?
+
Yes, this tool works on all devices including smartphones and tablets.
Which browsers are supported?
+
All modern browsers are supported including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Is my data kept private?
+
Uploaded files are processed on our own conversion servers, nobody looks at them, and they are not shared. The upload and the converted file are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
What if my download doesn't start?
+
Try clicking the download button again and ensure pop-ups are not blocked.
Will quality be preserved?
+
We preserve quality as accurately as possible during processing.
