Markdown to PDF
Turn notes or a README into a readable document.
About this converter
Markdown is easy to write and awkward to hand to someone who does not use it. This lays your file out as a proper document — headings sized by level, wrapped paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists, quotes, code blocks in a fixed-width font, tables, and horizontal rules.
It is deliberately plain: one clean layout on A4 or Letter, at whichever of three text sizes suits the document, with no theme to choose and no stylesheet to fight with.
Footnotes are not supported yet. Images are left out for good: the picture a Markdown file points at lives beside it on your disk, and a browser is handed the text file alone.
Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown features work?
Headings, paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists, block quotes, fenced code blocks, pipe tables and horizontal rules. Footnotes are not supported yet.
Can I change how it looks?
The page size and the text size, yes. Beyond that there is one layout by design — a menu of themes would mean several mediocre ones instead of one that reads well.
Why are images not included?
A Markdown file points at pictures sitting beside it on your disk, and a browser is handed the text file on its own — there is no folder to look in. Fetching pictures from the web instead would mean this page contacting another server about your document, which is exactly what the rest of this site avoids.
Does my file get sent anywhere?
No. Everything happens on your own device, so the file never leaves it.
