Your README, notes or AI-generated report looks fine as Markdown, then someone asks for a PDF. Pasting it into a word processor mangles the headings and tables. This converter turns a .md file into a tidy PDF with real, selectable text: headings, lists, tables, code blocks, quotes and clickable links all carry over. It runs in your browser and your file stays on your device.

How to Convert Markdown to PDF

1. Add your Markdown. Drop a .md, .markdown or .txt file onto the tool, or choose Or paste Markdown.
2. Edit if you need to. The text appears in an editor, so you can fix a heading or a typo before converting.
3. Choose the page. Pick A4 or US Letter, the page orientation, and a small, normal or large font.
4. Click Convert to PDF. The document is built inside your browser tab.
5. Download the PDF. Page numbers are added at the bottom of each page.

Why Use This Markdown to PDF Converter

• Your file stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded; the PDF is created in your browser.
• Real text, small files. The output is text you can select, copy and search, not an image of a page.
• The Markdown you actually write. Headings, bold, italic, inline code, nested lists, task lists, quotes, code blocks and tables.
• Clickable links. Links are underlined and open the original address.
• Edit before you convert. Fix the text in the built-in editor, or paste Markdown straight in.

Good to know: the PDF uses the standard built-in fonts, so Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic and emoji are replaced with question marks. Images are not embedded, raw HTML is ignored, and code blocks are not syntax-highlighted. The layout is clean and simple, not a custom design.

FAQ

How do I convert Markdown to PDF?

Drop your .md file onto the tool, or choose Or paste Markdown and type or paste your text. Pick the page size and font size, then click Convert to PDF and download the file.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Your file stays on your device. The PDF is built by code running in your browser tab.

Is the text in the PDF selectable?

Yes. The PDF is made of real text, not a screenshot, so you can select, copy and search it. Links stay clickable.

Which Markdown features are supported?

Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, inline code, links, bullet and numbered lists (including nested ones), task lists, block quotes, code blocks, tables and horizontal rules. Images are replaced by a short [image] note, and raw HTML is ignored.

Why do some characters show as question marks?

The PDF uses the standard built-in fonts, which cover Latin letters with accents but not Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, emoji or most symbols. Characters outside that set are replaced with a question mark, and the tool tells you how many.

Is there a file size limit?

Files up to 50 MB work without an account; a free account raises the limit.
