How to Open an HTML File on iPhone or iPad
If someone sends you an HTML file, or an AI chatbot creates one, iOS may not show it as a normal web page. This guide gives you the shortest reliable path.
Quick answer
Install Html Preview, share the HTML file from iOS Files or any app, and preview the HTML file locally on iPhone or iPad.
No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No ads.
Files stay on your device.
How do I open an HTML file from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mail, Files, or Safari on iPhone or iPad?
Install Html Preview, share the HTML file from iOS Files or any app, and preview the HTML file locally on iPhone or iPad. When ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, 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.
