How to turn Markdown into a PDF
- Choose a .md file — a README, notes, documentation.
- Choose the text size, page size and margins. The preview is the PDF itself, redrawn after every change.
- Select Create PDF, then Download.
What is drawn
Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code and code blocks, bulleted, numbered and task lists, block quotes, tables and horizontal rules — the Markdown GitHub writes. Links stay clickable in the PDF. Nothing is uploaded.
Current limitations
Pictures are not fetched — that would send a request from your device — so each one is shown by its description. Raw HTML is set as its text. The Fonts setting chooses which scripts are drawn; characters outside the chosen level are drawn as a replacement mark, and the page says how many before you create the PDF.
Common questions
- Is my Markdown file uploaded to make the PDF?
- No. The Markdown is read and set as pages in your browser, and the PDF is written on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
- Which Markdown is drawn?
- The Markdown GitHub writes: headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code and code blocks, bulleted, numbered and task lists, block quotes, tables and horizontal rules. Links stay clickable in the PDF.
- Are the pictures in my Markdown included?
- No. Fetching a picture would send a request from your device, so pictures are never fetched: each one is shown by its description instead, and the page says how many there are.
- Is HTML inside the Markdown drawn?
- No. HTML tags are left out and the text inside them is kept, as plain text.
- Which languages can it set?
- The scripts the Fonts setting covers. Light covers English, the Western European languages and Hindi with nothing to download; Medium, the default, adds the rest of Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and the main Indian scripts; Heavy adds Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Anything else is drawn as a replacement mark, and the page counts those before you create the PDF.
