About

Most markdown readers treat text like code. Magzdown treats it like print — with curated typography, thoughtful spacing, and magazine-style layouts that make long-form reading enjoyable.

AI agents produce a growing amount of markdown — research reports, documentation, code reviews, summaries. Magzdown was built to give those files the reading experience they deserve, so you can review them comfortably instead of squinting at raw text or a plain GitHub render.

Import any markdown — drop a file, paste a URL, clip from the web, or type it in. Magzdown renders it with your choice of style preset, color theme, fonts, and layout. Switch between a continuous scroll or a page-by-page paginated view. Everything is designed to get out of the way and let you read.

Switch to review mode to highlight text in four colors and attach inline comments. Highlights persist per-article in your browser's local storage. When you're done, export everything as formatted markdown with one click.

Export any article as a beautifully typeset PDF that matches your current theme, font, and color scheme — or as a reflowable EPUB with a cover page and linked table of contents for e-readers like Kindle and Apple Books.

The Magzdown Clipper extension for Chrome and Firefox lets you clip any web article into your library with one click. It extracts the article content, shows a preview with the title and word count, and saves it directly — no copy-pasting needed. The extension is free.

Everything is stored locally in your browser. Your articles, your settings, your reading progress — none of it leaves your device or reaches any server. There are no accounts, no cloud sync, and no tracking of your content.

The only network request Magzdown makes is when you fetch a markdown file by URL — and even then, the content is saved to your browser's local storage, not ours.

These shortcuts are available in the reader view:
