Full featured documentation deployment platform

Connect your Git repository and treat docs like code. We run the hard parts: builds, previews, auth -- so you can focus on creating great docs.

A terminal executing Git commands to build multiple versions of documentation

Your engineering team shouldn't have to run a docs platform team. We run the infrastructure so your writers and developers ship documentation, not pipelines.

Start your 30-day free trial

Always free for open source and community projects. We've hosted open source documentation since 2010 — Flask, Jupyter, Godot, and thousands more trust us to keep their docs online and searchable.

Host your project for free

Every pull request gets a live preview build with a visual diff against production. Review rendered output, not raw markup.

Control who can access your docs, from your internal team to the whole world. Enable SSO with GitHub or GitLab to manage permissions from one place.

Integrated support for Sphinx, MkDocs, Docusaurus, and more.

Support for llms.txt, markdown content negotiation, and agent skills make your documentation ready for any AI tool.

Preview your rendered documentation before deploying, and catch mistakes before they go live.

Match your product release cycle with multiple versions of your docs. Automatically build versions from any branch or tag.

Clone private repositories using a connected GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account, or clone from any Git provider with an SSH key.

Control who has access to your documentation with integrated authentication. Enable SSO with GitHub or GitLab to easily manage permissions in one place.

Web Framework

Flask is a Python web framework built with a small core and easy-to-extend philosophy.

Data Science Environment

Jupyter Notebook is a web-based interactive computational environment for creating notebook documents.

Game Engine

Godot Engine is a free and open source community-driven 2D and 3D game engine.

Read the Docs plays a large part in enabling a small volunteer team to maintain our docs. Without the generous Community plan, we couldn't have afforded anything close to the CI/build resources that we got with Read the Docs.

Read the Docs is a critical component of the open source software ecosystem. And their PR builds are the best and most trustworthy implementation out there.
