## Text formatting
You can write **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, `inline code`, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>B</kbd> key hints, and [links](https://pumpkins.dev). Bare URLs like https://pumpkins.dev turn into links on their own.

// why-this-one

A Markdown editor that stays out of your way.

Open the page and start typing. No account, no install, and nothing sent to a server.

Live, side by side

The preview updates as you type, and both panes scroll together so the paragraph you're writing is always the one you're looking at.

GitHub-flavored

Tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks, footnotes, and NOTE / TIP / WARNING callouts. What you see is what GitHub will show.

Code, math, diagrams

Syntax highlighting for 35+ languages, LaTeX math with KaTeX, and Mermaid flowcharts and sequence diagrams from fenced code blocks.

Private by default

Nothing is uploaded. Your draft autosaves in this browser, and raw HTML in your document is sanitized so it can't run scripts.

Share with a link

The whole document is compressed into the link itself, so you can send a rendered page without an account or a server.

Export anywhere

Download .md or a styled standalone .html page, save a PDF, or copy formatted text straight into Google Docs, Notion or an email.

Questions people ask

Is the Markdown Live Preview free?

Yes. It's free with no account, no watermark and no limits on how often you use it.

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No. Rendering happens in your browser and your draft is saved in this browser's local storage. Share links carry the document inside the part of the URL after the #, which browsers never send to a server.

Which Markdown flavor does it support?

GitHub Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks and fenced code blocks, plus footnotes, GitHub-style alerts (> [!NOTE]), KaTeX math with $…$ and $$…$$, and Mermaid diagrams in ```mermaid blocks.

Can I export my Markdown to PDF or HTML?

Yes. Export gives you the .md source, a standalone .html page with the same styling (it follows the reader's light or dark mode), or a PDF through your browser's print dialog. You can also copy formatted text for Google Docs, Notion or email.

How do share links work?

The document is compressed and stored in the link itself. Anyone who opens it sees the same document in their own editor, and their existing draft can be restored with one click. Because the content is in the link, anyone you send it to can read it.

Can I use raw HTML in my Markdown?

Yes: <details>, <kbd>, , , , images with a width and similar tags render normally. Scripts, forms, event handlers and style tags are removed so a document can't run code or change the page.
