Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS

AirDrop is fast for sending reports from Mac to iPhone, but an HTML file can arrive before iOS offers a clean preview target.

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 AirDrop workflow

Accept the AirDrop file, save it to Files if needed, share it to Html Preview, and read it locally.

What to check before opening

If the HTML export includes a folder of assets, AirDrop the folder or zip together with the file.

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.
