Write Markdown with a live preview and export to HTML or PDF — no installation required.
Markdown File Manager is a clean, distraction-free Markdown editor with a live preview pane and one-click export to .md, HTML, or PDF. It's the tool to reach for when you want to write formatted content without wrestling with a word processor.
The toolbar handles the most common Markdown formatting so you don't need to memorize syntax, while the editor stays out of your way for those who prefer typing it by hand. Switch to dark theme for comfortable evening writing.
Free. Private. Works offline.
Markdown File Manager uses a custom Markdown renderer with highlight.js for code block syntax highlighting. Documents can be saved to localStorage and exported as .md, HTML, or PDF files. The interface is in Dutch, but the app works with any language content.
Clears the editor and starts a fresh blank document. If you have unsaved changes, save first.
Opens an existing .md (Markdown) file from your computer and loads its contents into the editor.
Downloads the current content as a .md file.
Renders the Markdown to HTML and downloads it as an .html file — ready to publish or share.
Converts the rendered Markdown to a PDF and downloads it. Uses the browser's built-in PDF rendering.
Switches the editor and preview to a dark colour scheme.

Code blocks in the preview are syntax-highlighted using highlight.js.
The editor auto-saves to localStorage so your work survives a page refresh. Use Export .md to save a permanent copy to your computer.
All content stays in your browser. Nothing is transmitted to any server.
