How do I convert a Markdown file to PDF?

Upload the .md file or paste the Markdown text, choose page size, optional table of contents and page numbers, click Convert and download the PDF. No software or account needed.

Which Markdown syntax is supported?

GitHub-flavoured Markdown: headings, lists, task lists, tables, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, blockquotes, links, images, footnotes and horizontal rules. Raw HTML is stripped for safety.

Does code get syntax highlighting?

Yes. Fenced code blocks with a language tag (python, js, bash and so on) are highlighted, kept in a monospace font and wrapped so long lines never run off the page.

Can I add a table of contents and page numbers?

Yes. The table of contents is built from your headings, three levels deep, and placed first. Page numbers go in the footer as "page / total". Both are optional.

Is this better than printing from a Markdown editor?

Printing from an editor uses the browser's print dialog and whatever styling the editor has. This tool produces a consistent, print-ready PDF with proper margins, fonts and page breaks before headings, so READMEs, specs and reports look the same for everyone.

Can I convert a README or an AI chat export?

Yes, that is a typical use: README.md files, documentation, specifications, meeting notes and Markdown exported from ChatGPT or Claude all convert directly.

Yes. Markdown to PDF is free, uploads are encrypted, processing happens on servers in the Nordics, and files are deleted automatically shortly after. Nothing is stored or shared.
