Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 3, 2026

The short version

Markdown Wizard runs entirely in your browser. The text you type, paste, or open is never sent to a server — there is no backend to send it to. It is rendered, converted, and exported on your own device, and it is saved only in your browser's local storage so your work survives a reload. There are no accounts, no logins, and no record anywhere of what you wrote.

Your document

• Processed entirely on your device — there is no upload and no server-side conversion. Every download format, including PDF and Word, is generated in the browser.
• Autosaved to your browser's local storage under keys beginning mdw:, so reloading the page does not lose your work.
• Deleted when you clear it, use New, or clear your browser data. Because it never leaves the device, there is no copy for us to delete.
• Still available offline: the page keeps working once loaded, and the whole app can be saved and opened from a local file:// copy, where it makes no network requests at all.

Images you reference

This is the one case where using the editor can cause a request to leave your device, so it is stated plainly rather than buried. If your Markdown references a remote image — ![](https://example.com/photo.png) — the preview loads that image, which tells the server hosting it your IP address and browser user-agent, exactly as it would on any web page. That request goes to whatever host you referenced; it never passes through us, and the text of your document is not part of it. Referencing no remote images means no such request happens.

This website

markdownwizard.app is served by Cloudflare Pages, which receives standard web request metadata (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) in order to deliver the page and protect against abuse.

For analytics we use self-hosted, cookieless Plausible, running on our own server rather than a third-party service. It records that a page was visited — never what you typed. There are no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no personal identifiers, and nothing is shared with ad networks. It does not load at all when the app is opened offline from file://.

What we never collect

• The content of your documents, in whole or in part
• Document titles or file names
• User accounts, email addresses, or passwords — there are none to collect
• Payment information — Markdown Wizard is free to use and has no checkout

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information. The only third parties involved are Cloudflare, which serves this site, and our own self-hosted Plausible instance.

Children's privacy

Markdown Wizard does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 years of age.
