FAQ

What is a Markdown editor?

A Markdown editor is an online writing tool that supports Markdown syntax, with editing on the left and live preview on the right, plus export to multiple formats for blogs, docs and notes.

How do I import an existing .md file?

Click the Upload button in the toolbar to choose a file, or drag it directly into the editor. The content is loaded and replaces the current document.

Which export formats are supported?

You can export Markdown (.md), HTML (.html) and PDF. PDF uses the browser print feature, so you can preview before exporting.

Is my content saved automatically?

Yes. Content is auto-saved to browser local storage on a timer, and you can also press Ctrl+S to save manually. It is restored the next time you open the page.

Are there file size limits?

Imported .md files should be under 5MB and images under 5MB each. Plain text writing rarely runs into capacity issues.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All editing and previewing happen locally in your browser and content is never uploaded, so sensitive documents are safe to write here.

Do I need to register or pay?

No, it is completely free. Open the page and use everything. Usage is only counted when you export files.

Does it work on mobile browsers?

Yes. The layout adapts to phone browsers with full editing, preview and export features, handy for quick notes on the go.

Online editor vs. desktop writing software?

Desktop software offers more features but needs installation and is harder to move between devices. The online editor needs no install, opens instantly and saves locally, making everyday writing faster.

Why does the preview differ from the export?

Check whether you used extension syntax the editor does not support, or whether the export lacks the corresponding styles. Write with standard syntax first, then add formulas and flowcharts as needed.

How do I insert math formulas and flowcharts?

Click the Math Formula button to insert inline or block formulas, and the Mermaid Flowchart button for flowchart code blocks. The preview renders them automatically.

How do I use Find and Replace?

Click the Find button in the toolbar (or press Ctrl+F) to open the panel. Enter the text to find, then replace one by one or all at once, with case-sensitive and regex options.
