MarkPad (formerly DownmarkerWPF) is a visual Markdown editor for Windows built with WPF, featuring real-time side-by-side preview, spellchecking, and publishing to blogs, GitHub, and Jekyll sites. It was developed by the Code52 community project.

Use cases

  • write markdown blog posts with live preview
  • edit markdown files with spellcheck on windows
  • publish markdown directly to a blog or github
  • manage a jekyll site's markdown content
  • paste clipboard images into markdown documents

When to choose

  • you are on Windows and want a dedicated WPF Markdown editor with side-by-side preview
  • you blog with Markdown and want direct publishing to blogs, GitHub, or Jekyll

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained editor - the project has seen little activity since its Code52 days
  • you are not on Windows or lack .NET Framework 4.0
  • you need cross-platform or modern Markdown editing features
