Frequently Asked Questions
Is this HTML editor really free?
Yes, HTML Display is 100% free, with no account, no trial and no limits. The site is supported by occasional affiliate partnerships, which never affect how the tool works.
Is my code saved? Where is it stored?
Your code is auto-saved every 2 seconds in your browser's local storage, on your own device. Nothing is sent to our servers. Reopen the page anytime and your work will still be there. Clearing your browser data will erase it, so download important files.
Can I test CSS and JavaScript too?
Yes. Write a complete HTML document including <style> and <script> tags, the live preview renders CSS and runs JavaScript just like a real browser page, safely sandboxed.
How do I open an existing HTML file?
Drag & drop your .html file anywhere on the editor, or use the Import button in the sidebar (Ctrl+O). To save your work, click Export / Download (Ctrl+S).
What's the difference with CodePen or JSFiddle?
Those are full development platforms with accounts, collections and social features. HTML Display focuses on one thing: viewing and editing HTML instantly, with zero friction. No signup, faster loading, and complete privacy.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, the editor is fully responsive. On mobile the preview appears below the editor, and all features remain available through the menu.
