The formats

Markdown and PDF at a glance

  • What is a Markdown file?

    Markdown is plain text with simple marks for formatting, like # for headings, ** for bold, and - for lists. It's the standard for README files, documentation, notes apps like Obsidian, and AI chat apps, and it converts cleanly to HTML. It opens in any text editor, VS Code, Obsidian, Typora, GitHub, and Notion (by import).

  • What is a PDF file?

    PDF is the standard format for sharing documents that should look the same everywhere. It fixes the layout, fonts, and images of every page, which is great for reading and printing but makes editing hard. A PDF can contain real text or only scanned pictures of pages. It opens in every browser, Adobe Acrobat Reader, macOS Preview, Microsoft Edge on Windows, phones, and Google Drive.

Good to know

What changes when you convert Markdown to PDF

  • GitHub-flavored Markdown is supported, including tables, task lists, strikethrough, and fenced code blocks.
  • The PDF uses real text, so you can select, search, and copy it.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Are links and text preserved in the Markdown PDF?

Yes. Text stays selectable and searchable, and normal Markdown links remain clickable. The PDF uses built-in document styles rather than a specific website theme.

Is this Markdown to PDF converter free?

Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the conversion happens on your own device rather than on a server.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser with pdf.js and open-source document libraries, so your files never leave your device. Once the page has loaded, it even works offline.

Can I convert several Markdown files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like. They're converted one after another, and you can download each PDF file as soon as it's ready or all of them in one ZIP file.

Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows?

Yes. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on computers and phones.

What can open a PDF file?

Every browser, Adobe Acrobat Reader, macOS Preview, Microsoft Edge on Windows, phones, and Google Drive.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: everyday files are fine, and most computers handle documents with hundreds of pages.
