Free Online Markdown Editor with Live Preview — Write, Format & Export
Markdown is the most popular lightweight markup language in the world. Developers use it to write README files on GitHub. Technical writers use it for documentation sites. Bloggers use it for posts on platforms like Ghost, Hashnode, and Dev.to. Content teams use it in headless CMS tools like Contentful and Sanity. If you write on the web, you will eventually write Markdown.
The OmniWebKit Markdown Editor gives you everything you need to write great Markdown in your browser — with zero setup. The live split-pane view shows your formatted output in real time as you type on the left. A full formatting toolbar lets you insert bold, italic, strikethrough, headings, blockquotes, code blocks, bullet lists, numbered lists, horizontal rules, links, images, and tables with a single click. Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I for italic, Ctrl+Z for undo) let you move fast. All three view modes are available: Editor only, Preview only, or Split (side-by-side). A fullscreen mode removes all distractions when you need to focus.
When you are done writing, you have four export options: copy the raw Markdown to your clipboard, copy the rendered HTML to your clipboard (ready to paste into any CMS or HTML editor), download the file as a .md file, or download as a .html file (with embedded CSS styling ready to open in any browser). The word count, character count, and line count are always visible in the footer.
