MD Viewer

About

Open any Markdown file locally and see it beautifully rendered — no server, no conversion, no extra tools.

HOW IT WORKS
Drag a .md file into Chrome (or press Ctrl+O), and MD Viewer automatically parses and renders it as clean HTML. A sticky toolbar lets you toggle between rendered and raw views at any time. A right-click context menu entry gives you the same toggle without reaching for the toolbar.

FEATURES
• Renders headers, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code
• Fenced code blocks with language class hints
• Tables, ordered & unordered lists, blockquotes
• Images and links
• Horizontal rules
• GitHub-style light theme
• Automatic dark mode (respects your OS preference)
• Print-friendly — toolbar hides automatically when printing
• Sticky toolbar shows the filename for quick reference
• Toggle raw ↔ rendered view via toolbar button or right-click menu

PRIVACY
MD Viewer operates entirely offline. It reads only local file:// URLs that match *.md. No data is collected, transmitted, or stored. There are no external network requests.

PERMISSIONS
• "Read and change your data on file:// URLs" — required to inject the renderer into local .md files
• Context Menus — required to add the right-click toggle option

GETTING STARTED
After installing, open Chrome settings → Extensions → MD Viewer → Details, and enable "Allow access to file URLs". Then open any .md file in Chrome and it renders instantly.
