What is Markdown to PDF/Print Converter?

Select paper size (A4 or Letter) and font size

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this generate HTML instead of PDF?

Browsers cannot create actual PDF files without server-side processing. Instead, this tool generates print-ready HTML with professional CSS and @media print rules. You can use your browser's print function (Ctrl+P) to save it as a PDF.

What Markdown features are supported?

The tool supports headings (h1-h6), bold, italic, code blocks with syntax highlighting hints, inline code, unordered and ordered lists, links, images, tables, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.

Can I customize the styling?

You can adjust the paper size and font size using the options. For further customization, you can copy the generated HTML and modify the CSS styles to match your preferences.

Does the tool handle large documents?

Yes, the tool can handle large Markdown documents. The print CSS includes page-break rules to keep headings with their content and avoid breaking code blocks or tables across pages.

Is my document data sent to a server?

No, all processing happens entirely in your browser. Your Markdown content never leaves your device.
