Questions, answered
Does Crispdown upload my files anywhere?
No. Rendering, export, and license activation happen locally on your computer. Crispdown does not upload your Markdown, file names, or telemetry. Images referenced by a document may load from their original host, as they do in any browser page.
What's free and what's Pro?
The viewer is free forever: beautiful rendering, code highlighting, tables, math, diagrams, table of contents, themes. Pro ($14.99, one-time) adds one-click export to Word (.docx), polished PDF, and long-image, plus all themes and custom CSS. HTML export is always free; you get 3 clean Pro-format exports (Word, PDF or PNG) to try before deciding.
Is this a subscription?
No. Pay once, use v3 forever. Your license includes all v3 updates and security fixes, forever. If a major v4 ever ships, upgrading is optional — and 50% off for you.
How do I activate Pro after buying?
- Click the Crispdown icon in your Chrome toolbar
