About

A full-featured Markdown editor with split-pane live preview showing rendered output alongside the source. Includes a formatting toolbar (bold, italic, heading, link, image, code, table), three visual themes, auto-save to localStorage, real-time word/character count, line numbers, a table helper for grid creation, and fullscreen mode.

Writing Markdown with live preview is essential for content creation, documentation, and note-taking. Combines the power of raw Markdown authoring with instant visual feedback and formatting assistance for productive writing workflows.

Who should use this tool?

Technical writers, documentation maintainers, developers writing README files, bloggers using Markdown, and anyone who regularly edits Markdown-formatted content.

Common use cases

Write and preview GitHub README files and project documentation with real-time rendering
Create and format blog posts with Markdown using the toolbar for quick formatting insertion
Take formatted notes with live preview during meetings or research sessions
Build and edit documentation sites with consistent Markdown formatting and table structures
Draft and preview Markdown emails or newsletters with formatting and link insertion
Collaborate on Markdown content by sharing the auto-saved content across sessions

How to Use

Type or paste Markdown into the left editor pane; the right pane shows a live rendered preview that updates on each keystroke

Use the toolbar buttons for common formatting: Bold (Ctrl+B), Italic (Ctrl+I), Headings (H1-H6), Links, Images, Code blocks, and Tables

Create tables with the Table Helper button: specify rows/columns; the tool generates the Markdown table syntax

Switch themes via the theme selector (Light, Dark, or Sepia) to match your visual preference

Monitor the word and character count in the status bar; use fullscreen mode for distraction-free writing

Content auto-saves to browser localStorage; restore on return or use the export button to download as .md file

Examples

Input toolbar action: Click Bold button -> Inserts: "**bold text**" with cursor between the asterisks

Input: "| Col1 | Col2 |\n|------|------|\n| A | B |" -> Preview: Renders a Markdown table with two columns and one row

Best Practices

Use keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+B/I for bold/italic) to stay in flow without reaching for the toolbar
Save important content externally; auto-save uses localStorage which can be cleared
Use the table helper for complex tables rather than writing Markdown grid syntax manually
Switch to fullscreen mode when doing focused long-form writing to reduce distractions
Preview images and links by inserting them and verifying the rendered output in the preview pane

Common Mistakes

Relying solely on the toolbar when keyboard shortcuts would be faster for frequent formatting
Forgetting that auto-save is browser-specific; clearing browser data will lose unsaved work
Using broken image or link syntax and not checking the red indicator in the preview pane
Applying heading formatting (multiple #) without a space after the #, which doesn't render as a heading
Not using the table helper and making manual table syntax errors with misaligned columns

FAQ

Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)? Yes, including task lists, tables, strikethrough, and emoji shortcodes.

Is there an undo/redo feature? Yes, Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y are supported for unlimited undo/redo in the editor.

Can I drag-and-drop images? Yes, images can be dragged from your file system to insert the image reference Markdown.

Is the preview scroll-synced with the editor? Yes, scrolling one pane will attempt to keep the other synced to the same relative position.
