Markdown to PDF – Tool

Markdown to PDF Converter

Paste Markdown or upload a .md file, preview the result and download a print-ready PDF — no server needed.

Preview Rendered HTML (PDF will match this)

Rendered preview will appear here after you click Render Preview.

Tip: For images to appear correctly, use absolute URLs in your Markdown (Word/HTML-to-PDF will fetch them). Large images may affect PDF size/quality.

Responsive layout optimized for mobile editors and desktop workflows — good for on-the-go content editing.

Just drop the HTML into your WordPress page and the tool works immediately — minimal dependencies and easy maintenance.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does this create a PDF without a server?
A: The tool parses Markdown to HTML using the marked library in the browser and then uses html2pdf (which wraps html2canvas + jsPDF) to render that HTML into a PDF — all client-side.

Q: Will images embedded in Markdown appear in the PDF?
A: Images with absolute URLs (e.g., https://...) will be fetched and included in the PDF. Data-URI images are also supported. Local file paths will not be accessible unless you host them publicly.

Q: Can I control page size, margins, and orientation?
A: Yes — use the dropdowns above to pick page size (A4/Letter/A3), orientation (portrait/landscape) and margin (in mm).

Q: Why might my PDF look different from the preview?
A: The preview shows rendered HTML in the page; html2pdf uses html2canvas to rasterize the content and then composes the PDF. Differences can arise from DPI/scale and page breaks — adjust margin and orientation to fine-tune the result.

Q: Is there a way to add page numbers or headers/footers?
A: Simple headers/footers and page numbers can be added by injecting extra HTML/CSS into the preview area before calling the PDF generator. If you want built-in header/footer support I can extend the tool to include templates (requires minor additional markup).

Q: Is this safe to use on a public site?
A: Yes — everything is executed in the visitor's browser and the tool's CSS is scoped under #md2pdf_tool to minimize theme collisions. If Blocksy styling still impacts rendering, we can further increase selector specificity.
