What is this free HTML live editor?
This HTML live editor lets you write code on one side and see the rendered page on the other, updating as you type. Use it as an online HTML editor, an HTML viewer or a quick HTML code tester, with no signup and nothing to install. Tailwind CSS and Font Awesome are loaded into the preview for you, and 117 ready-made snippets let you start from a finished block instead of a blank page.
Key features
- Split-screen editor and live preview. The preview refreshes about 300 ms after you stop typing.
- 117 snippets in 25 categories. Hero sections, navbars, pricing cards, forms, tables, modals, alerts, tabs, timelines and legal page templates, with a search box.
- Snippets or full documents. Paste a fragment or a complete page; the tool adds Tailwind CSS or Font Awesome only if your code does not already include them.
- Format, Copy, Download, Clear. Re-indent messy markup, copy the code, save a standalone .html file or start fresh.
- Refresh View and Full Screen. Re-render the page or inspect it at full size.
- Mobile friendly. The editor and preview stack on small screens and the snippet menu slides out.
How to use the HTML live editor
- Type or paste your HTML in the editor, or open the menu and click a snippet.
- Watch the Live Preview update. Use Refresh View to force a re-render.
- Change text, Tailwind classes, colours and spacing directly in the code.
- Click Format to tidy the markup, and Full Screen to check the layout.
- Click Copy to paste the code elsewhere, or Download to save a .html file.
Benefits for web developers
Beginners and students see the result of every tag instantly. Freelancers prototype a section for a client in minutes. WordPress users test a custom block before pasting it into a Custom HTML block. Teachers run live coding demos without asking students to install anything.
Good to know: your code is not saved automatically, so copy or download it before closing the tab. Styling needs an internet connection because Tailwind CSS and Font Awesome load from a CDN. Do not paste code you do not trust, as the preview runs scripts.
