Questions

Is it free to turn Markdown into a PDF?

Yes. It’s free and needs no account. It runs in your web browser, with nothing to install.

Can I convert Markdown to PDF without uploading it?

Yes. Without an account, your text is read and made into a PDF in this browser tab, and never sent to our server.

Is there a file size limit?

Markdown can be up to 1 MB, including any embedded pictures. A PDF stops at 500 pages and says so on its last page. With a free account, each PDF kept in your library can be up to 100 MB.

Can I turn Markdown into a PDF on my phone?

Yes. It works in the web browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer.

What does the PDF look like?

Clean and plain: headings, bold and italic, lists and checklists, quotes, code in a shaded box, and tables whose header repeats on each page. Headings become bookmarks (up to 1,000), and pages are numbered. Web, email and in-document heading links stay clickable; a relative file link, such as docs/setup.md, becomes plain text. A PNG or JPEG embedded in the file as a base64 data: address shows, within limits; in a heading or a table cell it becomes a label. A remote or relative picture is never fetched, and SVG, GIF and WebP aren’t drawn. Math isn’t drawn yet.
