About the Markdown to PDF

Markdown to PDF converts Markdown text into a professionally styled PDF document — with your choice of GitHub or minimal stylesheet, custom font size, and A4 formatting with 2cm margins.

How It Works

You paste your Markdown text, choose a style theme (GitHub or Minimal), and set a font size. The Markdown is sent to our server where marked (a Markdown parser) converts it to HTML. The HTML is wrapped with the chosen CSS stylesheet and injected into a headless Chromium browser via Puppeteer, which then renders the page and exports it as an A4 PDF with 2cm margins.

The GitHub theme mirrors the styling used on GitHub.com — headings with horizontal rules, monospace code blocks with light backgrounds, and a system sans-serif font. The Minimal theme uses a serif body font with a cleaner, more document-like appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no usage limits.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no registration of any kind.

Are code blocks formatted?

Yes — fenced code blocks are styled with a monospace font and a light grey background. Syntax highlighting is not applied (the PDF uses plain text in code blocks).

Can I include images in the Markdown?

Markdown image syntax (![alt](url)) is supported, but the image URL must be publicly accessible — the Chromium browser will fetch it during PDF generation.

Is there a character limit?

Inputs up to 2 MB (roughly 2 million characters) are accepted. Typical documents are well under this limit.
