Markdown → PDF
Convert Markdown to PDF — 3 themes (GitHub, Clean, Newspaper), A4/Letter, custom margin & font size. Uses your browser's PDF engine — text stays selectable, links remain clickable. Never uploaded.
Opens your browser print dialog — pick "Save as PDF" as the destination.
Converts Markdown to PDF via the browser print dialog. This is the safest path: it uses the browser's own PDF engine — text stays selectable, links remain clickable, file size stays small. Your markdown is NEVER uploaded.
When to use Markdown → PDF?
- Weekly / monthly reports: send PDF to your manager — branded, print-ready.
- CV / Portfolio: write in markdown, export PDF for HR.
- Class handouts: teachers draft fast, print PDF for students.
- Short e-books / guides: write theory in md, hand out PDF for offline reading.
- AI output: paste ChatGPT/Claude output, take PDF to share.
3 built-in themes
- GitHub-like: README style — sans-serif, light gray code blocks, bordered + zebra tables. Great for technical docs.
- Clean / Minimal: only what's needed — fits memos, email-style notes.
- Newspaper (serif): Georgia, justified text, drop indent, centered H1 with double border — beautiful for essays and long-form blog.
How the PDF is made
The tool uses your browser's built-in PDF engine — no heavy (~500KB) PDF library download. Flow:
- The tool renders your markdown to HTML with print-ready CSS.
- Click "🖨 Create PDF" → the browser opens the Print dialog.
- You pick "Save as PDF" as the destination.
- The browser produces a high-quality PDF: text stays selectable, links remain clickable, file size stays small (not raster images).
This is the same approach Google Docs, GitHub, and Notion use. Compared to client-side PDF libraries, the file is smaller, looks better, and uses native system fonts.
Customization
- A4 (default, EU/VN) or Letter (US).
- Margin 1–3.5cm — slider updates the preview live.
- Font 9–16pt — suits print or screen reading.
- Document title — shows in PDF header (file name suggested from title).
Privacy
Your markdown is never uploaded. The PDF is generated locally in your browser.
Limitations
- Requires "Save as PDF" support in the browser's print dialog. Modern Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari all have it.
- Images: HTTP(S) links work if the browser can fetch them; local files cannot be embedded.
- Math, Mermaid: not yet supported.
- Some systems default to a real printer in the dialog — make sure to pick Save-as-PDF as the destination.
