Marcdown 👻

Lightweight markdown viewer and editor

For one of my blog post, I was searching for an online markdown viewer and editor. There were many heavy-duty editors, with tones of useless features, but none seems to be easy and fast with all essential features.

That's why I created an online markdown viewer and editor tool: Marcdown to create, edit, view, and save markdown files on the go with ease. Marcdown is WYSIWYG!

WYSIWYG is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get. In computing, a WYSIWYG editor is a system in which content can be edited in a form closely resembling its appearance when printed or displayed as a finished product, such as a printed document, web page, or slide presentation.

Dark mode

Forget all the hassle of working with complicated editors. Learn how to create, edit, view, and save markdown files within minutes!

Marcdown is an open-source markdown viewer and editor optimized for change and adaptability to fit your exact needs.

Light mode

With Marcdown, now I can view and edit markdown files in all sizes for free; I can view, edit, create markdown files and download them from anywhere.

Viewing and editing markdown files is now as simple as 1, 2, 3!

  1. Paste or type markdown on left.

  2. View preview on right.

  3. Download markdown file.

Bonus: 🌗 I also added an option switch to dark mode so that reading markdown files at night won't hurt your eyes!

EDIT 0: Added highlightjs support: Inline codes and code blocks will now be highlighted automatically.
EDIT 1: Added separator line between editor and preview 🎉 Marcdown is a PWA. It works offline after first use. You can install it as a Web app on your phone or Desktop app on your PC. Click on the top-right PWA button to install as an offline app. Share your suggestions below & I'll implement them.
