Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS

Many HTML files arrive through Files, Mail, AirDrop, Safari Downloads, Messages, or AI chat apps. The file is on the iPhone, but the useful action is often hidden behind the iOS Share Sheet.

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 iOS Share Sheet workflow

Open the .html file, tap Share, choose Html Preview, and use the share sheet HTML preview workflow to render the file locally on iPhone or iPad.

What to check before opening

If Html Preview is not visible, scroll the app row, tap More, and look for the app in the full iOS Share Sheet.

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.
