An overview of Lepapier

What Lepapier
does
now.

Lepapier is a local-first Markdown editor for quiet writing and practical static-site publishing. It keeps the main surface simple, then puts files, metadata, media, preview editing, and export tools around the document.

Workflow

  1. 01

    Start in the browser or bring in real files

    Draft locally with browser storage, open a single Markdown file, open a folder, or use Open and sync to keep supported local files connected.

  2. 02

    Refine from preview

    Switch to preview to edit body text, title, description, tags, tables, and media presentation directly on the rendered document.

  3. 03

    Export for publishing

    Use generated Markdown, single-document downloads, or zip archives for static site workflows such as Astro blogs.

Main features

Workspace

Keep several Markdown documents open, switch between them, select documents for export, and remove documents from the local workspace without deleting source files.

Local files

Open Markdown files or folders, import referenced assets, and keep supported local files connected with editable file handles.

Preview editing

Edit rendered text, table cells, and frontmatter from preview mode while the source Markdown stays in sync.

Media controls

Add cover images plus document images and videos, then adjust how images appear directly from the preview.

Export

Download one Markdown file when no assets are needed, or package selected documents and referenced assets as a portable zip archive.

And more

Rich Markdown

  • Write with headings, quotes, lists, task lists, tables, links, code, emphasis, and strikethrough.
  • Adjust image presentation with width, alignment, crop, rotation, display, shadow, and side-text options.
  • Embed videos as playable media from Markdown references.
  • Edit table rows and columns from preview when the layout changes while writing.

Media workflow

  • Set a cover image for publishing while keeping body media focused on the current document.
  • Use the Media sidebar to see the images and videos this document actually references.
  • Add an image or video and Lepapier inserts the Markdown reference for you.
  • Import folders with shared files and keep reused assets from turning into duplicate copies.

Storage and privacy

  • Keep drafts and preferences available between writing sessions on this browser.
  • Reconnect editable files and folders when the browser supports local file access.
  • App updates wait for you to reload, so writing is not interrupted.

Assistive tools

  • Regenerate title, description, tags, and related metadata with local Chrome AI when available.
  • Clean smart punctuation across the current document when typography gets inconsistent.

Good to know

  • Lepapier is optimized for local-first static-site publishing workflows.
  • Editable file and folder syncing works in browsers that support the File System Access API.
  • Exports are the durable copy when browser storage is cleared.
