What Is Markdown to PDF?

Markdown to PDF turns plain Markdown into a polished document you can share, print or attach. Headings, lists, tables, code blocks, quotes and links are laid out with clean typography, and the PDF keeps real text that stays selectable and searchable.

It is built for READMEs, technical docs, meeting notes, reports, resumes and answers copied from AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude. Your document never leaves the browser, which matters when the content is private.

Selectable text

The PDF contains real text, not a blurry screenshot of the page.

Live preview

See the page with your chosen size, margins and font as you type.

Page control

A4 or Letter, three margin presets, page breaks and page numbers.

Private

Conversion happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

What Makes Markdown to PDF Different

Many online converters screenshot the rendered page into a PDF, which produces blurry text you can't select or search. This tool uses the browser's print engine instead, so the PDF has crisp vector text and proper fonts.

It also gives you document-level control that plain Markdown lacks: page size, margins, page breaks, a generated table of contents and page numbers.

Real text output

Copy, search and screen-read the PDF just like a document exported from a word processor.

What you see is what you get

The preview uses the same layout as the PDF, so there are no surprises after export.

Handles real documents

Tables, nested lists, task lists, code blocks and quotes are all styled for print.

Also exports Word

Pro Tips for Markdown to PDF

  • Start the document with a single # heading — it becomes the PDF title and the suggested file name.
  • Keep tables to a handful of columns; very wide tables are easier to read in landscape or as a Word export.
  • Use the Serif font with Wide margins for formal reports and letters.
  • If the print dialog shows browser headers and footers, turn off “Headers and footers” in its settings.

Getting the Best Results with Markdown to PDF

Structure the document with headings in order (#, ##, ###) so the table of contents reads naturally.

Images embedded from other sites need to be publicly reachable; pasted data-URI images always work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

How do I add a page break?

Put <!-- pagebreak --> (or \newpage) on its own line where the new page should start.

Can I get a Word document instead?

Yes. Use Export as Word, or open the Markdown to Word tool, to download an editable .docx of the same document.

Which Markdown features are supported?

Headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, ordered, nested and task lists, tables, code blocks, block quotes and horizontal rules (GitHub-flavoured Markdown).
