Markdown to PDF

Type or paste Markdown text and convert it to a PDF. The tool parses Markdown using the marked library, then renders the text content into a PDF using pdf-lib with proper heading sizes, paragraph spacing, and page breaks.

The output is a clean, text-based PDF — headings are rendered in a larger bold font, body text in a standard serif-free font, and pages break automatically when content overflows. This is a text-focused converter, not a full CSS-to-PDF renderer, so complex Markdown features like tables or images are converted to their plain text representation.

Useful for generating quick PDF handouts from notes, converting README files to shareable documents, or producing simple reports from Markdown source. Everything runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Does it support images or tables in Markdown?

Images are not embedded in the PDF. Tables and other complex Markdown structures are converted to their plain text representation. This tool is optimized for text-heavy Markdown — headings, paragraphs, lists, and inline formatting.

Can I customize fonts or page size?

The tool uses Helvetica (regular and bold) on US Letter-sized pages. Custom fonts and page sizes are not currently configurable — the focus is on a clean, readable default output.

Does this upload anything?

No. The Markdown parsing (marked) and PDF generation (pdf-lib) both run entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
