Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. OpenEdit processes everything locally in your browser using Web APIs, so your file never leaves your device.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. Every OpenEdit tool is free, requires no account and adds no watermark to your exports.

Can I create a new HTML file from scratch?

Yes. Use the “Start a blank HTML file” button and you get an empty .html buffer with HTML highlighting already enabled.

Online HTML Editor

Write and preview HTML markup with tag completion and live preview. OpenEdit runs the same editor engine as VS Code directly in your browser tab — open a .html file or start from a blank one, and nothing is ever uploaded.
