Markdown, typeset for reading
The converter understands GitHub-flavoured Markdown: headings, bold, italic and strikethrough, bulleted, numbered and task lists, block quotes, tables, horizontal rules, inline code and fenced code blocks. Each element gets a clear typographic style, code is set in a monospaced font on a light grey background, and links stay clickable in the PDF. The text is real text, so it can be searched and copied.
Pictures stored inside the file as data are included. Pictures linked from the web or from your disk would have to be downloaded, so their description is shown in their place instead. Code blocks are not colour-highlighted, and HTML inside the Markdown is reduced to its text.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a Markdown file to PDF?
Select the .md file, choose A4 or Letter and click Convert to PDF. The PDF downloads straight away, with headings, lists, tables and code laid out on real pages. You can convert up to 20 Markdown files at once.
Are tables and code blocks supported?
Yes. GitHub-style tables become bordered tables with a shaded header row, and fenced code blocks keep every space and line break in a monospaced font. Very long code lines wrap at the margin instead of being cut off.
Why are some images missing from my PDF?
Images in Markdown are usually links to files on your computer or on the web. The converter only sees the .md file itself and does not download anything, so it shows the image description instead. Images written into the file as data URIs are included.
Can I convert a GitHub README to PDF?
Yes. Download the README.md file and select it here. Headings, lists, tables and code blocks are laid out as a document you can print or attach. Relative links to other files in the repository will not work outside GitHub.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read and converted inside your browser on your own device, so contracts, CVs, reports and notes are never sent to us or stored anywhere. Once the page has loaded it keeps working even without an internet connection.
