Markdown to PDF
A Markdown file is easy to write and awkward to send to someone. Here it becomes a laid-out PDF — headings, lists, quotes, code and tables — and the file never leaves your device.
Your file stays on your device: nothing is uploaded
How it works
The Markdown is parsed with markdown-it, the same library a great many sites use, and then laid out: lines break on words, lists keep their indent even when they wrap, code sits on a grey background, tables wrap inside their cells, and any block that does not fit moves to the next page. Links become genuinely clickable, not just coloured — but only those starting with http, https or mailto: a PDF also allows addresses that run code, and those stay as text. What is not here, and is better known upfront: images (a Markdown file is text, the images live elsewhere and are not available here), HTML written inside the Markdown, footnotes and an automatic table of contents. And characters: the fonts every PDF reader has built in cover Latin with accents and little else, so text in Russian, Greek, Chinese or with an emoji cannot be written — we tell you before starting, naming the characters that are the problem.
Your files are never uploaded. Anywhere.
Not to a server of ours, not to a third party, never. When you pick a file it stays in your browser’s memory: it is read, processed and written back on your device, and you save the result yourself. There is no path that takes it elsewhere, because there is no server to send it to.
- Processed locallyFormats are handled by WebAssembly code running in your browser, not by a remote service.
- Nothing to upload, nothing to wait forOther services send your file to a server and then send it back to you. Here the file never leaves: there is no upload to wait for.
- No accountNo sign-up, no email, no daily limits to get around by paying.
- No files to deleteOthers promise to erase your files after an hour. We have nothing to erase: they never reached us.
