Markdown is the format of choice for technical writing, documentation, notes, and README files - but sharing it often requires converting to PDF. This browser-based tool uses the marked library to render Markdown to HTML and then captures it as a styled PDF offline. The conversion is instant, private, and requires no upload to any external service.

The converter supports the full CommonMark Markdown specification: headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, inline code, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, links, and horizontal rules. The PDF output uses clean typographic styles - a readable serif body font, clear heading hierarchy, and code blocks with a monospace font and subtle background - making the result suitable for documentation, technical reports, and formatted notes.

Converting Markdown to PDF in the browser is useful for developers writing documentation, researchers formatting notes, and anyone who wants a polished PDF from a plain-text source without setting up a local tool like Pandoc or a server-side rendering pipeline. Because the conversion runs entirely on your device, the content stays private.

Common questions

Which Markdown syntax features are supported?: The converter supports CommonMark Markdown including headings (H1-H6), bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks with language hints, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, nested lists, horizontal rules, and links. GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions like tables and task lists are also supported via the marked library. HTML embedded in Markdown is rendered as-is.
Is my Markdown content sent to any server?: No. The entire process runs in your browser. The marked library parses your Markdown client-side and the PDF is generated in memory without any network request. You can work with proprietary documentation, internal notes, or sensitive technical content without any concern about data leaving your device.
Can I customize the styling of the PDF output?: The default styles are chosen for readability and a clean professional look. Custom CSS theming is on the roadmap as a future feature. For now, the output uses a well-considered typographic baseline that works for documentation, reports, and formatted notes without any adjustment. Headings, body text, code blocks, and blockquotes all have distinct, readable styles.
