Share Markdown Online — Write, Preview & Share
Markdown powers READMEs, documentation, blog posts, and developer notes. DropText lets you write Markdown and share it as rendered HTML via a clean link. Recipients see beautifully formatted text — headings, lists, code blocks, links, and images — all properly rendered. With the Pro rich text editor, you get a live Markdown experience with formatting toolbar. No Markdown knowledge required for viewers.

Features
Rendered Markdown preview
Share Markdown and viewers see rendered HTML — headings, bold, lists, code blocks, links, all formatted.

Shareable link
One link to share formatted documentation. No file attachments, no format compatibility issues.
Dark mode
Markdown renders beautifully in both light and dark themes.

Common Problems Solved
Raw Markdown is hard to read
Sending .md files means the recipient sees raw syntax. DropText renders it as beautiful HTML.
Email can't render Markdown
Markdown in email is just plain text. DropText gives you a rendered, linkable version.
GitHub preview requires a repo
Want to preview Markdown without a repo? DropText renders it instantly — no Git needed.
Chat apps ignore Markdown syntax
Slack partially supports Markdown. DropText fully renders it with proper formatting.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I share Markdown online?
Paste Markdown into DropText, enable Markdown mode, and click Share. Recipients see rendered HTML with headings, lists, code blocks, and more.
Do viewers need to know Markdown?
No. Viewers see rendered HTML — the actual formatted text. They don't see raw Markdown syntax.
Can I use a visual editor instead of writing raw Markdown?
Yes. Pro users get a rich text editor with bold, italic, headings, lists, and code block buttons. The output is Markdown.
Are code blocks highlighted?
Yes. Code blocks within Markdown get full syntax highlighting. Specify the language with triple backticks.
