How do I render an HTML file that shows source code on iPhone or iPad?
Install Html Preview, open the file from Files or the iOS Share Sheet, and preview it locally on iPhone or iPad. When ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Safari, Mail, WeChat, WhatsApp, Telegram, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or Dropbox gives you an HTML file, share it to Html Preview and read it immediately. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No ads.
When this is the right iOS fix
Use this route when the file already exists and you need a reliable preview path on iPhone or iPad.
Best-fit search intent
You have an HTML file from HTML source code preview and iOS shows an icon, raw code, or an unreadable preview.
Native iOS path

Encoding support
Handles UTF-8, Windows-1252, and ISO Latin-1 files.
Private by design
No analytics, no uploads, and no tracking.
Made for AI-generated HTML reports
When ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Safari, Mail, WeChat, WhatsApp, Telegram, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or Dropbox gives you an HTML file, share it to Html Preview and read it immediately.

How it works
Save the source file
Save the HTML file from HTML source code preview. Keep the original .html, .htm, .xhtml file available in Files, Mail, a browser download, or the source app.
Open the iOS Share Sheet
Share the file from Files, Mail, Safari downloads, or the source app to Html Preview. The app opens the local file as a rendered HTML preview.
Choose the viewer
Choose Html Preview as the target viewer. It opens the file locally on iPhone or iPad for this workflow: render an HTML file that shows source code.
Preview and check
If the page depends on CSS, images, or JavaScript beside the HTML file, keep those assets together before previewing.
Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS
Some iOS paths display an HTML file as text or source code. That is useful for developers, but most users who receive AI reports, receipts, dashboards, or saved pages want the rendered page.
The shortest answer
Install Html Preview, open the file from Files, the Share Sheet, or the source app, and preview it locally. The app has no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads.
The HTML source code preview workflow
Share the file from Files, Mail, Safari downloads, or the source app to Html Preview. The app opens the local file as a rendered HTML preview.
What to check before opening
If the page depends on CSS, images, or JavaScript beside the HTML file, keep those assets together before previewing.
Why local preview fits this job
Html Preview is focused on file preview. It avoids uploads, account setup, ad clutter, and heavy editing features when the user simply needs to read an HTML file now.
If you also receive Markdown files
AI and document workflows often produce both HTML and Markdown. Md Preview is the companion viewer for that file type.
