What Is Markdown to PDF?
Markdown is plain text with syntax for headings and lists. Markdown to PDF renders your Markdown as HTML and uses the browser print dialog to save as PDF. The CommonMark spec defines the syntax.
Paste or upload Markdown; the right panel shows the rendered preview. Use Print / PDF to open the print dialog and save as PDF. For HTML output only, use Markdown to HTML. For editing with preview, use the Markdown Editor.
How to Use This Tool
Paste or Upload Markdown
Paste your Markdown into the left panel. Use Upload for .md or .markdown files. Use Sample to load example content.
Check the Preview
The right panel shows the rendered HTML. Adjust your Markdown if needed. Use Copy HTML or Download HTML to get the HTML output.
Print or Save as PDF
Click Print / PDF to open the browser print dialog. Choose Save as PDF (or equivalent) as the destination. For formatting Markdown first, use Markdown Formatter.
When Markdown to PDF Helps
When you need a PDF from Markdown (docs, reports, READMEs for GitHub), this tool renders and prints in one place. The W3C HTML output uses the browser's print dialog. No server required. For batch conversion or advanced PDF options, consider a CLI tool like Pandoc. For HTML export, use Markdown to HTML.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my data private?
Yes. Rendering and printing run entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
Why use Print to PDF?
The browser print dialog is built-in and free. For custom fonts, margins, or headers, use the print dialog options.
Does it support images?
Images with full URLs typically work. Local or relative paths may not resolve in the preview. Use absolute URLs for best results.
Can I customize the PDF layout?
Use the browser print dialog to set margins, orientation, and scale. For advanced control, download HTML and use a dedicated PDF tool.
What about page breaks?
CSS page-break-before or page-break-after in the rendered HTML can control breaks. The tool outputs standard HTML; add styles if needed.
