Convert Markdown to PDF without Pandoc or Calibre
Writing README files, technical specs, or meeting notes in Markdown and need a clean PDF to share? This tool converts any .md file to a print-ready document using your browser's native PDF engine - no software to install, no files uploaded to a server.
Supports fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting for 200+ languages, GitHub-flavored tables, task list checkboxes, blockquotes, and automatic table of contents generation from your headings. Works for README files, API docs, research notes, and student assignments.

Which Markdown this tool reads
John Gruber's original Markdown syntax page covers paragraphs, headers, blockquotes, lists, code blocks, links, emphasis, images and horizontal rules. It does not cover tables or footnotes, and tells you to embed HTML for anything it lacks.
Later flavors filled the gaps in different ways. The GitHub Flavored Markdown spec calls itself a strict superset of CommonMark and adds tables, task list items, strikethrough, autolinks and a rule for disallowed raw HTML. It does not list footnotes as an extension.
This tool parses with the marked library in GFM mode. A pipe table, a task list such as - [x] done, ~~strikethrough~~ and a bare URL all render. We tested footnote syntax: [^1] stays as literal text in the output and the definition appears as a plain paragraph, so footnotes will not work here.
Two ways to get a PDF
Print / Save PDF opens your browser's print dialog on the styled document, so the text stays selectable and links stay clickable. Download PDF takes a picture of each page and puts the images in a PDF. It matches the preview exactly, but the text cannot be selected or searched and links do not work.
Use the print route when someone will copy from the PDF or click its links. Use the download for a fixed picture of the layout. In both, code blocks keep their monospace font and background, and page size can be A4 or Letter.
Safety and limits
The rendered HTML is run through DOMPurify before it is shown, which strips scripts and other unsafe markup from untrusted Markdown. Everything happens in your browser, so your text is not uploaded. A share link stores the document in the URL and works up to about 8,000 characters.
FAQ
Why do my footnotes show as plain text?
The GFM spec does not list footnotes, and the parser this tool uses leaves [^1] as text. Rewrite them as normal links or a short notes section at the end.
Does it support tables?
Yes. GFM pipe tables render, along with task lists and strikethrough, because the tool parses in GFM mode.
Is my Markdown uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing, preview and PDF creation run in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.
