Markdown to PDF
Paste Markdown and get a typeset document. Headings, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, fenced code blocks, horizontal rules and inline bold, italic and code are all laid out properly rather than dumped as plain text.

How this tool works
- 1The source is parsed into blocks: headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, code and rules.
- 2Inline bold, italic and code are split into styled runs and measured individually.
- 3Each block is laid out with pdf-lib, breaking to a new page when it runs out of room.
What it will not do
- Only the standard PDF fonts are available, so characters outside Latin-1 are replaced.
- Tables, images, footnotes and reference links are not supported. Unrecognised syntax is rendered as plain text rather than dropped.
- Code lines are clipped at the edge of the box rather than wrapped, because wrapping code changes what it says.
Common uses
- Turning a README into something you can attach to an email.
- Producing a printable copy of meeting notes written in Markdown.
Where this runs
Markdown to PDF runs entirely inside this page. Your file is read by the browser, processed in memory and handed back to your downloads folder. It is never sent to a server, because there is no server involved in this tool.
