How this Markdown to PDF works
The Markdown is converted to HTML with print styles, shown in the preview, and handed to your browser's own print engine when you press Save as PDF. That is the same engine that prints web pages, so it handles every script and language your system has fonts for, images by URL, tables and code blocks, and the text in the PDF stays selectable. Headings are kept with the paragraph after them and code blocks and tables are not split across pages where possible.
Your browser decides some print settings, such as headers, footers and background graphics. Turn off "Headers and footers" in the print window for a clean page.
Any language
Unlike our Text to PDF tool, accented, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic and Asian text all print correctly.
Tables and code
GitHub-style tables, fenced code blocks and task lists are styled for print.
A4 or Letter
Pages use 18 mm margins; the document title comes from your first # heading.
No upload
Conversion and printing happen in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions people ask about the Markdown to PDF converter.
The PDF is made by your browser's print engine, which renders text, tables and images the most faithfully. Choose "Save as PDF" as the destination to get a file instead of a printout.
In the print window, open More settings and untick "Headers and footers".
Images must be reachable by URL from your browser. Local file paths such as ./diagram.png from a repository cannot be loaded; use the image's full https:// address.
You can choose sans-serif or serif here. For full control over styling, convert with Markdown to HTML, edit the CSS and print the page from your browser.
