Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS

A local HTML file may already be saved on iPhone from AirDrop, Files, email, browser downloads, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or an AI export. iOS can keep the file, but a rendered local reading view is still missing.

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 local HTML files workflow

Open the local HTML file from Files, tap Share, choose Html Preview, and read the rendered page on device.

What to check before opening

This route is for actual local .html, .htm, or .xhtml files, not ordinary website links.

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.
