How do I open a Gmail HTML attachment 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.

Does Html Preview support Gmail?

How it works
Save the source file
Save the HTML file from Gmail. Keep the original .html, .htm, .xhtml file available in Files, Mail, a browser download, or the source app.
Open the iOS Share Sheet
Open the Gmail attachment, use Share or Save to Files, choose Html Preview, and preview the HTML locally on your device.
Choose the viewer
Choose Html Preview as the target viewer. It opens the file locally on iPhone or iPad for this workflow: open a Gmail HTML attachment.
Preview and check
For sensitive email attachments, local preview avoids uploading the file to an online HTML converter.
Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS
Gmail attachments can include exported reports, saved pages, receipts, and AI-generated HTML. On iPhone, tapping the attachment may not give a clean rendered view.
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 Gmail workflow
Open the Gmail attachment, use Share or Save to Files, choose Html Preview, and preview the HTML locally on your device.
What to check before opening
For sensitive email attachments, local preview avoids uploading the file to an online HTML converter.
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.
