About This Tool

Conversion uses the open-source Markdown parser marked (MIT License) and happens entirely in your browser. PDF output relies on the browser's native print pipeline, so font embedding and page breaks (no orphaned headings, no split tables) are handled by your OS. We manage client proposals and quotes in Markdown ourselves — this is the same tool we use to ship them as PDFs.

How to Convert Markdown to PDF — Notes

This is an online Markdown (MD) to PDF converter. No upload or signup is needed, and both the conversion and the PDF output happen inside your browser.

From Markdown to PDF

Paste Markdown (or open a .md file) and an A4 preview appears on the right. Click "Save as PDF" to open the print dialog, then choose "Save as PDF" as the destination (in Safari, use the PDF menu at the bottom left) to download the file.

Supported Markdown

Headings, bullet and numbered lists, tables (GFM), code blocks, blockquotes, horizontal rules, links and images. Line breaks are kept as line breaks. The page is A4 portrait with 18 mm top/bottom and 16 mm left/right margins.

Tips for a cleaner PDF

Turn off "Headers and footers" in the print dialog (Chrome) to keep the date and URL off the page. Pages are set up to avoid breaking right after a heading or in the middle of a table or code block.
