How do I open a zipped Markdown export on iPhone or iPad?
The app does not open ZIP archives. Extract the archive in Files, then choose one supported Markdown file. Open one .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, .qmd file from Files, the iOS Share Sheet, or Open In. When ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, NotebookLM, Obsidian, Notion, GitHub, Mail, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or Dropbox gives you a Markdown file, open it in Md Preview for a clean rendered view. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No ads.
When this is the right iOS fix
Use this route when the file already exists and you need a reliable preview path on iPhone or iPad.
Best-fit search intent
You have a Markdown file from zipped Markdown exports and iOS shows an icon, raw code, or an unreadable preview.
Native iOS path
Start from Files, Mail, Safari downloads, AirDrop, a cloud drive, or the source app, then use Share or Open In.
Viewer role
Md Preview is the dedicated local viewer for .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, .qmd; it avoids upload and converter workflows.
When not to use it
If raw text is enough, Files can show many .md files. Use Md Preview when you need rendered Markdown, code, math, tables, or Mermaid on iPhone or iPad.
If the file is HTML instead
Use Html Preview, the companion iOS viewer for HTML files, when this workflow produces HTML instead of Markdown.
Next action
Open the App Store listing, install the viewer, then return to the file and share it to Md Preview.
