Streamdown is a React Markdown renderer designed specifically for streaming content from AI models. It is the rendering layer for chat UIs: you pass it the partial Markdown text your model is producing and it displays it correctly as it grows. It was built by the Vercel team as an evolution of react-markdown for the streaming era.

Why not just use react-markdown?

Because standard Markdown parsers expect complete documents. While tokens are still arriving, block syntax is unterminated and can flicker or break layout. Streamdown parses that incomplete Markdown, applies unterminated block styling, and animates transitions so the output looks smooth instead of jumpy.

How do I install and add features?

Install the core package with npm, then add only the plugins you need — @streamdown/code for Shiki highlighting, @streamdown/mermaid for diagrams, @streamdown/math for KaTeX, @streamdown/cjk for ideographic punctuation. Plugins are tree-shakeable, so unused ones are dropped from your bundle.

Does it handle security and customization?

Yes. Streamdown blocks images and links from unexpected origins by default and shows a link-safety modal with the full URL before navigation, which matters when the Markdown is generated by a model. You can also override any element and apply your own styles.

No. Streamdown is published as an open-source npm package for the React ecosystem, developed in the open by Vercel. There is no paid tier; you can read the docs, browse the GitHub repository and try the playground.

Ist Streamdown kostenlos? Welches Preismodell hat es?

Streamdown arbeitet mit einem Preismodell „Free and open source“. Streamdown is free and open source. It is distributed as an npm package for React projects, with documentation, a playground and a public GitHub repository. Optional plugins are installed from npm at no cost; there is no paid tier or usage-based billing. Zu den unterstützten Abrechnungs- und Checkout-Plattformen gehören: nicht aufgeführt.

Über Streamdown

Typography and GFM

Built-in Tailwind typography for headings, lists and code blocks, plus GitHub Flavored Markdown for tables, task lists, strikethrough and autolinks.

Streaming-first rendering

Caret indicators show that content is still generating, unterminated blocks are parsed rather than broken, and transitions are animated for smoother output.

Interactive code blocks

Shiki-powered syntax highlighting with copy and download buttons, automatic language detection and optional line numbers.

Math, diagrams and CJK

LaTeX math through KaTeX, interactive Mermaid diagrams with fullscreen viewing, and CJK support so ideographic punctuation renders correctly.

Security and customization

Unexpected-origin images and links are blocked and a link-safety modal shows the full URL before navigation. Override any element with custom components and tree-shakeable plugins.

Streamdown is an open-source React component that renders Markdown as it streams in from AI models. Forked from react-markdown and hardened for streaming, it keeps formatting stable while tokens arrive — with built-in typography, streaming carets, animations, Shiki code blocks, KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams and CJK support.

Wirkungsvolle Anwendungsfälle für Streamdown

Frontend developer

Build a polished AI chat UI

Render assistant replies in a Next.js chat app without flicker or layout jumps as tokens stream in, complete with a typing caret and smooth animations.

AI product engineer

Render rich technical answers

Display model-generated answers containing tables, LaTeX formulas and Mermaid diagrams correctly, even while the response is still incomplete.

Performance-focused engineer

Keep bundle size small

Ship rich Markdown rendering without ballooning your JavaScript bundle, since highlighting, math and diagram plugins are optional and tree-shakeable.

Security-conscious team

Safely render model content

Trust the output rendered from an untrusted model, since images and links from unexpected origins are blocked and URLs are surfaced before navigation.
