App Store screenshots

Official App Store screenshots show the exact job: open local files from AI, Files, cloud drives, and email on iPhone and iPad.

Download on the App Store

Choose the install-ready path

Compare, open, read, or download Markdown on iPhone with the guides closest to an App Store action.

Markdown Reader for iPhone

Read local Markdown files on iPhone or iPad. Md Preview renders .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, and .qmd documents.

Choose the exact iPhone preview fix

Match the symptom first: iPhone can't open the Markdown file, Files cannot preview it, Quick Look fails, or the file opens as source text. Each guide links to the shortest local preview path.

Markdown file shows raw text

Use this when the file opens as raw Markdown text instead of a rendered document with headings, code, tables, or links.

Jump to the source that caused the preview failure

If the Markdown file came from Safari Downloads, Files, Google Drive, ChatGPT, or Slack, use the matching guide instead of scanning every troubleshooting path.

Need the HTML version?

Open the matching HTML topic hub on Html Preview instead of starting from the homepage.

Why can't my iPhone open or preview Markdown files?

If iPhone cannot open the Markdown file, shows raw code, or gives an incomplete Quick Look preview, use Md Preview. Share the file from Files or Mail and preview it locally on device. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads. 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.

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 Files, Quick Look, or source-code previews 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.
