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
Your file becomes a laid-out PDF: lines break on words, lists keep their indent, code sits on grey, tables wrap inside their cells. Links to websites and email addresses become genuinely clickable; the others, such as links to other files or to spots in the document, stay plain text. What is not here: images — their alt text stays, in square brackets —, HTML inside the Markdown, footnotes and an automatic table of contents. Latin with accents, numbers and punctuation can be written — Russian, Greek, Chinese and emoji cannot.
Frequently asked questions
- It says some characters can’t be written. What now?
- The message lists them one by one. They are usually arrows (→), tick marks (✓), symbols like ≥, or emoji: replace them in the file with words or plain equivalents such as -> or >=, and try again. Curly quotes, long dashes, € and ellipses go through fine. The message already shows in the preview, before you press anything.
- Does the PDF have page numbers?
- No: pages come out with no header or footer. If you need numbers, create the PDF here and then run it through “Page numbers on PDF”, where you choose where the number goes and can keep the first page clean.
- Can I change the paper size and the text size?
- Yes. By default the page is A4 with a 20 mm margin and 11-point text. Under “Page size” you can switch to A3, A5, Letter or Legal; under “Advanced options” you set the margin anywhere from 8 to 40 mm and the text from 8 to 16 points, and headings and code scale along with it.
- I have several Markdown files. Can I get a single PDF?
- Each file becomes its own PDF, up to 30 at a time, and you can download them all together as a ZIP. For one document, create the PDFs here and then line them up in “Merge PDFs”, dragging them into the order you want.
