Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS

Claude can export artifacts, reports, tables, and interactive drafts as HTML files such as claude_viewer.html. Once the file is saved to iPhone, iOS may not provide a direct rendered preview.

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 Claude Artifacts workflow

Save the Claude Artifact HTML file, open claude_viewer.html from Files or the Share Sheet, choose Html Preview, and read the rendered file locally.

What to check before opening

Claude Artifacts: For reliable preview, use self-contained HTML. Neighboring CSS, scripts, images, anchors, or other local pages may not resolve as a project.

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.
