Loading README generator…
Creating a README from scratch takes time, especially when you're deciding which sections to include. This generator provides a complete structure instantly, so you can focus on your project instead of formatting Markdown.
Choose from templates designed for web applications, APIs, libraries, CLI tools, mobile apps, and general repositories. Each template includes sections commonly expected for that type of project.
The generated README uses clean Markdown syntax that works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and most Markdown editors without additional formatting.
Preview your README while editing to check headings, badges, code blocks, lists, tables, and formatting before copying it into your repository.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your project details remain on your device and aren't uploaded or stored on our servers.
The generated Markdown is only a starting point. You can edit every heading, paragraph, code block, badge, or section before publishing your repository.

Explain what your project does in one or two short paragraphs.
Help users get started quickly by including setup commands and prerequisites.
Include commands, screenshots, or code snippets so visitors understand how to use the project.
List the main capabilities instead of expecting visitors to explore the source code.
State how others can use your project and whether contributions are allowed.
Whenever features, installation steps, or APIs change, update your README so it stays accurate.
Select the template that best matches your project, whether it's a web application, API, library, CLI tool, mobile app, or a general repository.
Fill in your project name, description, installation steps, usage instructions, technology stack, license, repository URL, and optional badges.
Click Generate README to instantly create a structured Markdown document based on the information you entered.
Check the live preview, edit any section you want, and add screenshots, examples, or additional documentation before publishing.
Copy the generated Markdown or download the README.md file and place it in the root folder of your repository.
