Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Markdown Editor.
What is a markdown editor?
A markdown editor is a tool that lets you write and format text using Markdown syntax — a lightweight markup language. Instead of clicking buttons to format text like in Word, you use simple symbols like # for headings, ** for bold, and - for lists. Our markdown editor provides a real-time preview so you can see the formatted output as you type.
Is this markdown editor free to use?
Yes, Markdown Editor is completely free to use with no limitations. There are no premium tiers, no feature locks, and no signup required. All features including PDF export, diagram support, math equations, and multi-document workspace are available at no cost.
Does the markdown editor work offline?
Yes. Markdown Editor is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works fully offline. You can install it on your device and use it without an internet connection. All your documents are stored locally in your browser, so your work is always available.
Is my data private and secure?
Absolutely. Your documents are stored only in your browser's local storage — they never leave your device. We don't upload your content to any server, don't require an account, and don't track what you write. Your data is 100% private.
Can I export my markdown to PDF?
Yes. You can export your markdown documents to professionally formatted PDF files with one click. The PDF export preserves all formatting including headings, code blocks, tables, math equations, and diagrams. You can also export to HTML and raw Markdown.
Does it support Mermaid diagrams?
Yes. Markdown Editor has built-in support for Mermaid diagrams. You can create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, pie charts, class diagrams, state diagrams, and more — all rendered directly in the preview from simple text syntax.
Can I write math equations and formulas?
Yes. We support KaTeX for rendering mathematical expressions. Use $...$ for inline math and $$...$$ for display math. KaTeX supports a wide range of LaTeX commands for equations, formulas, matrices, integrals, summations, and more.
What is GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) is an extended version of standard Markdown used by GitHub. It adds features like tables, task lists (checkboxes), strikethrough text, autolinks, and fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting. Our editor fully supports GFM.
How is this different from other markdown editors like Typora, StackEdit, or Dillinger?
Markdown Editor combines the power of a professional code editor (Monaco/VS Code engine) with advanced features like Mermaid diagrams, Excalidraw whiteboard, PlantUML, and KaTeX math — all in one free, browser-based tool. Unlike other editors, it works offline, requires no signup, and keeps your data completely private on your device.
Can I use this for writing README files?
Absolutely. Markdown Editor is perfect for writing GitHub README files, CONTRIBUTING.md, CHANGELOG.md, and any other Markdown documentation. It supports all GitHub Flavored Markdown features and lets you preview exactly how your document will look.
Does it support multiple documents?
Yes. You can create and manage multiple markdown documents within a single workspace. Switch between documents, rename them, and organize your work. All documents are saved automatically to your browser's local storage.
Can I use it on mobile or tablet?
Yes. Markdown Editor is fully responsive and works on any device — desktop, tablet, or mobile phone. As a Progressive Web App, you can also install it on your home screen for a native app-like experience.
