Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS

Teams and clients often share .html files through Dropbox. iOS can receive the file, but the reading experience is not always direct.

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 Dropbox workflow

Open the Dropbox file, send it through the iOS Share Sheet to Html Preview, and preview it locally on iPhone or iPad.

What to check before opening

For zipped HTML exports, unzip first so linked images and style files remain available.

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.
