MD, MARKDOWN, TXT · up to 10.0 MB each, 10 at a time (Lifetime: 100 MB, 100 files)
Your files never leave your device. Everything happens in this browser tab.
Write in Markdown, share as PDF. This formats your .md file with readable typography (headings, lists, tables, quotes and code blocks) on A4 pages, then opens your browser's print dialog, where Save as PDF creates the file.
Using the browser's own PDF engine keeps text crisp and selectable, and nothing is uploaded.
How to use the Markdown to PDF tool
Add a Markdown file
.md, .markdown or .txt.
Create PDF
The print dialog opens with your formatted document.
Choose Save as PDF
Pick Save as PDF (or Microsoft Print to PDF) as the destination and save.
Tips
- Turn off headers and footers in the print dialog for a cleaner page.
- Use # headings: they keep page breaks tidy.
- Images linked from the web are included if they load; local image paths are not.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a print dialog open?
Your browser's print-to-PDF engine produces the highest-quality PDFs with real, selectable text. Choose Save as PDF as the printer.
Is GitHub-flavoured Markdown supported?
Yes: tables, strikethrough and fenced code blocks all work.
Is raw HTML in my Markdown kept?
No. For safety, raw HTML is shown as text rather than run. Only web and email links are kept as links.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, on your device. Your file is never sent to Scanlexa.
