What does Markdown to PDF do?

It converts Markdown content (from a .md file or pasted text) into a paginated PDF with preserved headings, lists, and structure.

Is my Markdown uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your content stays on your device.

What font is used in the output?

Courier (monospaced). It’s a standard PDF font that renders consistently in every PDF reader.

Does it render Markdown like a preview?

Not exactly. Headers become uppercase text, syntax markers are stripped, and the structure is preserved as plain text. It’s not a full HTML-style render — it’s a clean text representation.

Can I change margins and font size?

Yes. Font size from 8pt to 24pt. Margins are adjustable on all four sides. Page size can be A4 or Letter.

Does it handle code blocks?

Yes. Fenced code blocks (```) have their fences removed and the content passes through as plain text.

What about tables in Markdown?

Markdown tables are simplified. For proper table formatting, consider using the CSV to PDF tool with your data.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. Works in any modern mobile browser. The PDF downloads directly to your device.

About Markdown to PDF

How Markdown to PDF Works

Drop a .md file or paste your Markdown, and the tool converts it to plain text with structural formatting preserved. Headers become uppercase labels. Bold and italic markers are stripped. Links show the URL in parentheses. The formatted text is then paginated into a PDF with Courier font.

You control page size (A4 or Letter), font size (8–24pt), and margins on all four sides. Word wrapping is automatic. The PDF generates in your browser and downloads directly.

When to Convert Markdown to PDF

Markdown is great for writing. PDF is great for sharing. When your .md file needs to reach someone outside your dev workflow, convert it.

README Files

Turn your project README into a PDF for stakeholders who won’t browse your repo. The structure is preserved, and it prints cleanly.

Documentation Handoffs

Deliver technical documentation as a PDF when the recipient doesn’t use Markdown tools. Maintains the document’s structure in a universal format.

Academic Papers

Draft in Markdown, submit as PDF. Common workflow for researchers who prefer lightweight editors over Word.

Printable Notes

Meeting notes, checklists, and project plans written in Markdown. Convert to PDF for printing with proper margins and pagination.

What Markdown Syntax Is Supported

Headers (# through ######) become uppercase labels. Bold and italic markers are stripped. Links show as "text (url)". Images become [Image: alt text] placeholders. Unordered and ordered lists are preserved. Code blocks have their fences removed. Horizontal rules, blockquotes, and task lists are supported.

Complex Markdown like nested tables, footnotes, and HTML blocks may be simplified. The tool aims for readable output, not a pixel-perfect recreation of a rendered Markdown page.

Privacy: Runs in Your Browser

Your Markdown content is converted to PDF entirely in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded. Close the tab and the data disappears. This matters for private documentation, unpublished writing, or proprietary content.
