About the Markdown to PDF converter
Markdown is written to be read as source, but sending a `.md` file to someone outside engineering rarely goes well. This converter produces a PDF instead.
The PDF is written byte by byte in your browser. There is no rendering service and no upload, which is why it appears instantly and why the contents stay yours.
What the output looks like
The Markdown is rendered structurally first, then typeset as clean text: headings on their own lines, list items bulleted and indented, table cells laid out in rows, blockquotes kept as separate blocks.
It is a text-faithful rendering rather than a designed document. Everything is set in one size of Helvetica, so structure comes through in the layout rather than in typography.
When to use the browser print dialog instead
If you want styled headings, coloured links and a designed look, convert to HTML with the Markdown to HTML tool, open it, and print to PDF from your browser. You get full CSS control at the cost of an extra step.
Use this converter when you want a plain, small, dependable PDF in one click.
Frequently asked questions
Are images included?
No. Image references become their alt text. Use Image to PDF for pictures.
Do links stay clickable?
The link text is kept but the PDF has no clickable annotations. Convert to HTML and print if you need working links.
Will code blocks keep their indentation?
Yes, though they are set in Helvetica rather than a monospaced font, so columns will not align perfectly.
