Why Convert Markdown to PDF?
Markdown is the developer's writing tool of choice — fast to write, version-controllable, no formatting menus. But your audience often needs PDF: business clients who don't read raw .md, archival systems that require fixed-format documents, classrooms expecting submissions in PDF, formal reports that need page numbers and consistent layout.
Common scenarios: technical reports from documentation, essays and assignments from Markdown notes, release notes from CHANGELOG.md, invoices from templates, resumes/CVs from Markdown source files, meeting notes for archival.
How to Use
- Type or paste Markdown text, or upload a
.mdfile. - The preview pane shows how the PDF will look — adjust your Markdown until it's right.
- Click Convert to PDF.
- Preview the rendered PDF in your browser.

Privacy: Conversion runs entirely in your browser. No uploads — safe for confidential reports and personal notes.

FAQ
What Markdown features are supported?
CommonMark + most GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown): headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, lists, code blocks, tables, blockquotes, horizontal rules, links, images. Math equations and footnotes are not supported.
Can I use custom styling?
The PDF uses a clean, professional default layout. For custom CSS, page breaks, or headers/footers, use Pandoc or md-to-pdf with your own templates.
Can I include images?
Yes — Markdown image syntax () embeds images into the PDF. Use absolute URLs (https://...) so they load correctly.
Are code blocks syntax-highlighted?
Code blocks render in monospace with a gray background but no syntax highlighting. For colorized syntax, use Pandoc with a custom template that includes Pygments.
What page size does the PDF use?
A4 (8.27 × 11.69 inches) with standard margins, suitable for most international and US use. Letter (8.5 × 11 inches) is similar enough that the difference is rarely noticeable.
Can I add a table of contents?
Not directly — for auto-generated TOC, use Pandoc with the --toc flag. For now, you can manually add a TOC at the top of your Markdown.
