About this tool
Paste HTML and see it rendered live in a sandboxed preview frame, so you can check your markup without creating a file.

Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your data is processed locally and never uploaded to a server.
How to use this tool
- Paste your HTML into the input area.
- Check the live preview frame to see how the page is rendered.
- Edit the HTML and watch the preview update as you work.
- Use the preview to catch broken tags, missing text, or layout issues before saving the file.
Step by step, what happens
- The tool takes the HTML you paste and loads it into a sandboxed preview frame.
- It renders the markup like a browser would, so you can inspect the visible result immediately.
- If you change the code, the preview reflects those changes without you needing to create a file.
- Because the frame is sandboxed, the preview stays isolated from the rest of the page.
Worked example
Suppose you want to check a simple page heading and paragraph before putting the code into your project.
Input: <h1>Hello, world!</h1><p>This is a preview.</p>
- Paste the HTML into the tool.
- The sandboxed frame renders the heading and paragraph as normal page content.
- You can confirm the text, spacing, and element order look right before copying the code elsewhere.
Output: Hello, world!
This is a preview.
Tips and common mistakes
- Include a full HTML snippet for the part you want to inspect, not just a single tag with no visible content.
- Remember that scripts and some external resources may not behave the same way inside a sandboxed preview frame.
- Use the preview to check structure and visual output, but test final behavior in your actual app or browser page too.
- If something looks wrong, inspect the markup for missing closing tags or nested elements in the wrong place.
