Convert Markdown to PDF

Markdown is the plain-text format behind README files, documentation, notes apps and many static sites. It is easy to write, but people outside tech want a PDF:

• Developers sharing a README, changelog or design doc with non-technical colleagues or clients.
• Students turning lecture notes or assignments written in a notes app into a document to submit.
• Writers producing a printable draft from a Markdown manuscript.
• Teams exporting meeting notes, specs or runbooks to attach to a ticket or email.

This tool typesets the Markdown into a real PDF with selectable text, not a screenshot of a web page.

The converter follows common GitHub-flavored Markdown:

Images are not embedded; they appear as an [image: alt text] placeholder, so keep image-heavy documents in another format. The first heading becomes the PDF's document title.

Line breaks inside a paragraph follow Markdown rules: a single newline joins lines into one paragraph, and an empty line starts a new one. End a line with two spaces or a backslash to force a line break.

• Paper size: Letter (8.5 × 11 in, default) or A4.
• Margins: narrow (0.5 in), normal (about 0.8 in) or wide (1 in).
• Font size: 9 to 14 pt for body text; headings scale with it.
• Page numbers: 1 / 5 style numbers centered at the bottom of each page.
• File name: set the name of the downloaded PDF.

Fonts are embedded in the PDF and support accented letters, so names like José or Zoë and curly quotes display correctly on any device, even one without the same fonts installed.

The Markdown is parsed and the PDF is built in your browser. Nothing you type or drop is uploaded, which matters for internal docs, unreleased product specs and personal notes. Files up to 5 MB can be opened; longer texts are better split into parts.

You keep project notes in a Markdown file and need to send a status report to a client. Drop status.md here. The editor fills with your text, and the Preview tab shows the table of tasks, the cost table and a quote from the client's brief. Choose Letter, Normal margins and 11 pt, leave page numbers on, set the file name to Status report November, and click Create PDF. Add \newpage before the appendix if you want it to start on a fresh page.
