Is HCODX Editor free?

Yes, HCODX Editor is completely free. There are no plans, subscriptions, or hidden costs. All features including live preview, multi-file projects, formatter, minifier, and obfuscator are available at no charge, permanently.

Do I need to install anything to use the HTML editor?

No. HCODX runs entirely in your browser. Just open hcodx.com/editor in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge and start coding immediately. No download, no install, no extension needed.

How does the live preview work?

The live preview renders your HTML, CSS and JavaScript in a split-screen panel that updates in real time as you type. It runs inside an isolated iframe at preview.hcodx.com, keeping your editor and preview completely separate for security. You can toggle desktop, tablet, or mobile views, or use the full responsive design tester.

Can I use HCODX for multi-file HTML projects?

Yes. HCODX supports full multi-file project management. You can create and manage HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and asset files in a folder structure, switch between files using tabs, search across all files, and export the whole project as a ZIP archive.

Is my code private in HCODX?

Completely private. HCODX stores all your code locally in your browser using IndexedDB. Nothing is ever sent to, or stored on, any external server. All editing, preview, formatting, and compiling happens client-side on your device only.

What programming languages does HCODX support?

The main editor supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with live preview, syntax highlighting, and autocomplete.

Can I use HCODX Editor offline?

Yes. HCODX is a Progressive Web App (PWA). After your first visit, it can be installed on desktop or mobile and works completely offline. Your projects and all editor features are available without an internet connection.

How do I format or minify my code?

Use the toolbar buttons or keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+F to format, Ctrl+Shift+M to minify. HCODX uses Prettier for HTML/CSS/JS formatting with customizable style presets, and includes CSS and JavaScript minifiers with advanced compression options.
