Key Features

Structured Output

Headings (H1–H6), paragraphs, lists, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, tables, and horizontal rules are rendered with distinct, print-ready styles.

Typography & Layout

Choose base font size, A4 or Letter page size, portrait or landscape orientation, and margins to match printing, archiving, or sharing needs.

Multiple Files

Convert several Markdown files at once; each becomes its own PDF, downloadable individually or as a ZIP archive.

Private & Local

Rendering runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your Markdown is never uploaded to any server, suitable for notes, drafts, and internal docs.

Code-Friendly

Fenced code blocks are rendered in a monospace font with preserved indentation and line breaks, ideal for READMEs, API docs, and tutorials.

How to Use

1

Add Markdown Files

Drag and drop or browse to select one or more .md or .markdown files. You can convert a single README or an entire set of notes.

2

Choose Layout

Set base font size, page size (A4 or Letter), orientation (portrait or landscape), and margins to control how content flows across pages.

3

Convert and Download

Run the tool to create a styled PDF per file, review the result, then download them individually or as a ZIP. No signup, no watermark, and up to 50 files per run.

Markdown to PDF Example

How to Convert Markdown to PDF

Why Convert Markdown to PDF

Markdown is great for writing docs, READMEs, and notes. A PDF version is easier to share, print, or archive with a stable layout that looks the same on every device.

How It Works

The Markdown document is parsed into blocks — headings, paragraphs, lists, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, tables, and rules — then rendered onto PDF pages with automatic wrapping and pagination. You can tune the base font size, page size (A4 or Letter), orientation (portrait or landscape), and margins to match your intended use.

What Gets Preserved

The converter preserves semantic structure and basic styling:

  • Headings (H1–H6): Clear hierarchy for sections and subsections.
  • Paragraphs and inline styles: Normal text with bold, italic, and code spans, each drawn in the matching font.
  • Lists: Bullet lists, numbered lists, and nested lists are flattened — every level uses the same indentation.
  • Fenced code blocks: Monospace font for Latin text (CJK documents use the embedded CJK font), with preserved indentation and line breaks, ideal for code examples.
  • Blockquotes and rules: Quotations and horizontal dividers.
  • Tables: Simple pipe tables rendered as rows and columns.

Complex extensions such as math formulas, Mermaid diagrams, or custom HTML are not rendered in this version.

Common Use Cases

Use Markdown to PDF to:

  • Convert GitHub/GitLab READMEs into shareable PDF documents.
  • Export technical documentation, API guides, and tutorials as stable PDFs.
  • Turn meeting notes, study notes, and blog drafts into printable files.
  • Create PDF versions of Markdown-based reports or specifications for clients or reviewers.

Limitations

This tool focuses on standard Markdown structure (headings, lists, code, tables). It does not execute JavaScript, render complex web layouts, or support advanced extensions such as math formulas or diagrams. For those needs, consider a dedicated documentation generator or a headless browser workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Rendering happens locally in your browser using pdf-lib. Your Markdown never leaves your device and is not sent to any server.

Which Markdown features work?

Headings (H1–H6), paragraphs, unordered and ordered lists, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, tables, and horizontal rules. Bold text is drawn with a bold font, italic text with an oblique font, and inline code with a monospace font. In Chinese/Japanese/Korean documents the embedded CJK font is used for all three, so those styles are not visually distinct there.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Each Markdown file becomes its own PDF. You can download them individually or as a ZIP archive for convenience.

Does it support images in Markdown?

Images referenced by URL or local path are not embedded in this version; the text structure and code are what get rendered into the PDF.

Is this suitable for READMEs and technical docs?

Yes. This tool is designed for READMEs, API documentation, tutorials, notes, and drafts where headings, lists, and code blocks are the main content.

Can I control page breaks or add a table of contents?

Basic pagination is handled automatically based on content and page size. Advanced features like explicit page breaks or a generated table of contents are not supported in this version.

Does it add a watermark?

No. The generated PDFs have no watermark, no branding, and no signup requirement.

What is this tool best for?

Ideal for converting READMEs, technical documentation, meeting notes, blog drafts, and study notes into stable, printable PDFs for sharing or archiving.
