Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS

Some users do not start from a Share button. They open a viewer first, then need to pick the HTML file from Files, iCloud Drive, Downloads, or another document provider.

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 document picker and import workflow

Open the iOS document picker, choose the .html file from Files or a cloud provider, import it into Html Preview, and read the rendered file locally.

What to check before opening

Use document picker import when the file is already stored in Files and you want the viewer to pull it in directly.

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.
