Markdown to PDF converter
Drop a Markdown file or paste text, check the preview, and download a PDF. Tables, syntax-highlighted code, Mermaid diagrams, LaTeX math and charts all come through. The conversion runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
How the Markdown to PDF conversion works
The page renders your Markdown with the same engine as the MeowMD viewer, then turns the rendered page into a PDF inside your browser. Headings, lists, task lists, tables, footnotes and GitHub callouts keep their formatting. Fenced code blocks keep their syntax colours, mermaid blocks become diagrams, $...$ and $$...$$ become typeset equations, and chart blocks become charts.
Two export routes are offered. Download PDF builds an A4 or Letter file directly. Print / Save as PDF uses the browser print dialog, which produces selectable, searchable text and is the better choice for long documents.
What is preserved, and what is not
- Preserved: headings, emphasis, links, lists, tables, code with highlighting, images, diagrams, math, footnotes, callouts.
- Always rendered on white paper, even if you use dark mode, so the file prints cleanly.
- Remote images need to allow cross-origin loading. If one is missing from the PDF, use the print route instead.
- The direct download rasterises pages, so text in that file is not selectable. Print to PDF keeps real text.
Frequently asked questions
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No. Rendering and PDF creation happen in your browser. The only network requests are for the open source libraries the page loads, and for a URL if you choose to load one.
Can I convert a README from GitHub?
Yes. Paste a GitHub file, repository or Gist link into the link box and press Load. Relative images in the README are resolved against the repository.
Why does the PDF look different from my editor preview?
The converter follows GitHub Flavored Markdown. Editors that add their own extensions, such as wikilinks or custom containers, may render those differently.
How do I get a smaller or larger margin?
Use the Margins menu above the preview. Narrow margins fit more on each page.
