What This Tool Does

Markdown is everywhere in development — README files, documentation, issue templates, pull request descriptions. This visualizer renders markdown exactly like GitHub, GitLab, and other platforms, so you can preview how your documentation will look before publishing.

The Mermaid integration lets you create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and more using simple text syntax. Perfect for documenting system architecture, API workflows, or project timelines directly in your markdown files.

Everything runs in your browser — upload sensitive documentation files, preview internal wikis, or test markdown syntax without sending data to external servers.
