Markdown Editor Online for README Files, Notes and Articles

Why use a Markdown editor?

Markdown is useful because it keeps writing simple. You can write headings, lists, links, tables, quotes, task lists, and code blocks without fighting a heavy document layout.

The Markdown Editor gives you a browser workspace with source text, live preview, outline, search and replace, undo and redo, line numbers, foldable sections, templates, and image handling.

It is a good fit for README files, notes, release drafts, documentation pages, article outlines, and simple knowledge-base content.

Quick workflow

Open Markdown Editor, start from a blank page or open a .md, .markdown, .txt, .html, or supported ZIP package. Write on one side, watch the preview, use the outline to move around headings, then export the result.

If you only need to convert Markdown to HTML or HTML to Markdown, use Markdown Converter. Use the editor when you need to write and review the document.

Working with images

Markdown files usually store image paths, not the images themselves. If you move only the .md file, local images may disappear because the paths no longer point to real files.

The editor supports adding images by button, library, paste, or drag and drop. For moving a document together with its images, export the document and images as a ZIP. HTML export can embed local images inside the output.

Online images are different: they stay as external links unless you choose to load them. That connection goes to the site hosting the image, so use it deliberately.

Drafts and privacy

The editor keeps a local browser draft, including local images, so you can recover recent work on the same device and browser. Still, important writing should be downloaded because browser storage can be cleared.

The document and images are not uploaded to the IGY Apps server for editing. The practical habit is simple: write, preview, export, and keep your own copy.

Before publishing

Before you publish or share Markdown, check:

• Heading levels are in order.
• Links open the right pages.
• Images are included or use valid paths.
• Tables are readable on small screens.
• Code blocks have the right language.
• The document length matches the audience.

Use Word Counter when you need to keep a README introduction, article, or note within a specific length.
