markdown to url
Markdown to URL — host a .md file, share a rendered link
Upload a Markdown file and get a public HTTPS link in under 2 seconds. Recipients open a rendered HTML page — headings, code blocks, tables, the works.
How it works
- 1Upload your .md file
Drop a .md or .markdown file into the box above. Files up to 1MB upload in under 2 seconds — enough for a long README, a multi-section design doc, or a meeting notes archive.
- 2We render it as HTML on Cloudflare
OneClickLive hosts the raw file plus a viewer page that converts the Markdown to HTML in the browser. Code blocks get syntax highlighting, tables render with borders, and links are clickable.
- 3Share the URL
Copy your oneclicklive.app link and paste it into Slack, email, a GitHub comment, or a Notion page. Recipients open a clean rendered Markdown page — no "raw view" gibberish like a Gist or GitHub blob URL.

FAQ
How do I share a Markdown file as a URL?
Upload the .md file using the box at the top of this page. OneClickLive hosts it and returns a public HTTPS URL in under 2 seconds. The URL renders the Markdown as styled HTML in any browser.
What Markdown features are supported?
GitHub Flavored Markdown — headings, lists, code fences with syntax highlighting, tables, task lists, strikethrough, footnotes, and autolinks. Math blocks ($$…$$) render via KaTeX on Pro.
Can I share a README without a GitHub repo?
Yes. This is the main use case — drop a README.md and get a rendered URL without creating a repo, pushing to a branch, or sharing a Gist that renders raw text instead of formatted Markdown.
How is this different from sharing a GitHub Gist?
Gist URLs default to raw view for .md files unless the visitor knows to click "View". OneClickLive renders the Markdown to HTML on open, so recipients see headings and code blocks immediately — no extra click, no GitHub login required.
Can I edit the Markdown after sharing the link?
Yes. Sign in to your dashboard, replace the file, and the URL keeps working. Useful for living documents — meeting notes, RFC drafts, changelogs — where readers want the latest version on each open.
What's the file size limit?
1MB per .md file on the free in-page uploader — roughly 200,000 words of plain text. Signing in raises it to 10MB and Pro to 100MB, enough for any documentation site or book draft.
Is my Markdown private?
The file is encrypted at rest on Cloudflare R2. The URL is public but the slug is random and unguessable. Pro plans add password protection for confidential Markdown docs.
