HTML Preview — Free, Private, Browser-Based
A split-pane HTML editor with a live sandboxed preview. Paste markup or open a .html file, watch it render as you type, test mobile and tablet widths, and download the result. Everything runs locally — your code never leaves your device.
Private by design. Your HTML is edited and rendered entirely in your browser inside a sandboxed iframe — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is my HTML uploaded to a server?
- No. The editor and the preview iframe both run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type or open is sent anywhere.
- Do JavaScript and CSS work in the preview?
- Yes. Inline <style> and <script> tags execute inside a sandboxed iframe. The sandbox allows scripts but blocks top-level navigation, popups, and form submission for safety.
- Can I preview a full HTML document?
- Yes — paste a complete document with <!DOCTYPE html>, <head>, and <body>, or just a fragment like a single <div>. Both render fine.
- Can external resources (CDN scripts, images) load?
- Yes, the preview can fetch external URLs referenced by your markup, such as CDN stylesheets or image links, exactly as a normal page would. The fetches come from your browser directly.
- Why is the preview sandboxed?
- The iframe uses sandbox="allow-scripts", so pasted code can run JS for testing but cannot redirect the page, open popups, or access this site’s cookies and storage.
- Is there a size limit?
- No hard limit. Very large documents (multi-MB) may render slower since the whole document re-renders on each change.
How to preview HTML online without uploading it
- Paste or type your HTML. Put your markup in the editor on the left — full documents with <style> and <script> tags work, or just a fragment. Tab inserts two spaces.
- Watch the live preview. The sandboxed preview on the right re-renders about 300ms after you stop typing. Scripts run inside the sandbox but cannot navigate away or touch this page.
- Test device widths. Switch between Mobile (375px), Tablet (768px), and Full width to check responsive behavior without opening DevTools.
- Open or download files. Drop a .html file onto the editor to load it, and click Download .html to save your work as a standalone file.
