Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS

XHTML files often come from documentation tools, archives, and technical exports. On iPad, the file can sync correctly but still lack a focused reader.

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 .xhtml files workflow

Open the .xhtml file from Files or the Share Sheet, select Html Preview, and preview the page locally on iPad.

What to check before opening

Keep linked images, CSS, and folders near the XHTML file when the export includes extra assets.

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.
