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 usually end in .md or .markdown.
What Markdown features are supported?
+
Standard Markdown: headings, bold, italic, links, images, code blocks, tables and lists.
Can I edit the file here?
+
This page only displays the file. Use the Markdown editor if you want to change the text and save it again.
What file types can I view?
+
Files ending in .md and .markdown, plus any plain text file written with Markdown syntax.
Can I convert Markdown to another format?
+
Yes. Convert it to DOCX, PDF, HTML and more with the converters on this site.
Can I transform several files at once
+
Yes. Free conversions handle one file at a time (merge tools accept two), while Pro unlocks batch processing of multiple files at once.
Does it work on mobile gadgets
+
Yes, our converter is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. You can transform files on iOS, Android, and any other mobile platform with a modern browser.
Which browsers are accepted
+
Our converter works with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. We recommend keeping your browser updated for the best workflow.
Are my files kept private and safe
+
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 save doesn't start
+
If your save doesn't start auto-, try clicking the download button again. Make sure pop-ups are not blocked, and check your web browser's download folder. You can also right-click the download link and choose 'Save As'.
Will the fidelity be preserved
+
It depends on the formats. A lossless target such as PNG, WAV or FLAC keeps what the source holds; a lossy target such as JPG, MP3 or MP4 is usually re-encoded, which trades some detail for a smaller file.
Do I need to create an profile
+
No account is required for basic usage. You can process files immediately. Creating a free account gives you access to your transformation history and additional features.
