How do I open a Working Copy HTML file 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. When ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, NotebookLM, Safari, Mail, WeChat, WhatsApp, Telegram, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or Dropbox gives you an HTML file, share it to Html Preview and read it immediately. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No ads.
When this is the right iOS fix
Use this route when the file already exists and you need a reliable preview path on iPhone or iPad.
Best-fit search intent
You have an HTML file from Working Copy and iOS shows an icon, raw code, or an unreadable preview.
Native iOS path
Start from Files, Mail, Safari downloads, AirDrop, a cloud drive, or the source app, then use Share or Open In.
Viewer role
Html Preview is the dedicated local viewer for .html, .htm, .xhtml; it avoids upload and converter workflows.
When not to use it
If you only have a normal web link, Safari is enough. Use Html Preview when the item is a local .html, .htm, or .xhtml file that iOS cannot preview cleanly.
If the file is Markdown instead
Use Md Preview, the companion iOS viewer for Markdown files, when this workflow produces Markdown instead of HTML.
Next action
Open the App Store listing, install the viewer, then return to the file and share it to Html Preview.

How it works
Save the source file
Save the HTML file from Working Copy. Keep the original .html, .htm, .xhtml file available in Files, Mail, a browser download, or the source app.
Open the iOS Share Sheet
Working Copy: Open one .html, .htm, .xhtml file from Files, the iOS Share Sheet, or Open In. For reliable preview, use self-contained HTML. Neighboring CSS, scripts, images, anchors, or other local pages may not resolve as a project.
Choose the viewer
Choose Html Preview as the target viewer. It opens the file locally on iPhone or iPad for this workflow: open a Working Copy HTML file.
Preview and check
Use this for real .html, .htm, or .xhtml files from a Working Copy repository. If the page uses CSS or images, preserve the relative folder paths.
Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS
Working Copy repositories can include HTML docs, saved reports, examples, and generated pages. The file is already on iPhone, but iOS may show source text or an incomplete preview.
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 Working Copy workflow

What to check before opening
Use this for real .html, .htm, or .xhtml files from a Working Copy repository. If the page uses CSS or images, preserve the relative folder paths.
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.
