How to Download as PDF
Paste or type your Markdown content into the input area on the left. The preview panel on the right updates in real time as you type. When the output looks correct, click Download PDF. The tool renders the document at A4 size, slices it into pages, and saves the PDF file directly to your downloads folder — no dialog required.
PDF Output
The exported PDF uses clean serif typography optimized for reading on paper. Tables are fully bordered with alternating row shading, code blocks have a light grey background, and blockquotes are indented with a left border. Long lines in code blocks and table cells wrap automatically to stay within the page margins.
Live Preview
The preview panel renders your Markdown in real time using the marked library. All HTML output is sanitized by DOMPurify before it is displayed, so the preview is safe even if your Markdown contains raw HTML.
Privacy
No text is sent to any server. All Markdown parsing, preview rendering, and PDF generation happen entirely inside your browser tab. The page does not track what you type.
FAQ
What Markdown syntax does this tool support?
The tool uses the marked library with GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) enabled. This covers headings, bold, italic, tables, code blocks, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, horizontal rules, and inline HTML.
Does the PDF download automatically without a dialog?
Yes. Clicking Download PDF triggers a direct file download to your browser's default downloads folder. No print dialog or new window opens.
Does the tool support images in Markdown?
Yes, standard Markdown image syntax  is supported. The image must be accessible from your browser — local file paths (file:///...) will not load due to browser security restrictions.
Can I use HTML inside my Markdown?
Raw HTML inside Markdown is sanitized by DOMPurify before being rendered. Basic formatting tags like <br>, <em>, and <strong> are preserved; potentially unsafe elements are stripped.
Is there a character or document length limit?
There is no enforced limit. Very long documents may take slightly longer to generate because the tool renders the full content before slicing it into pages. The only constraint is your device's available memory.
Do my documents get saved anywhere?
No. Everything stays in the browser tab and is cleared when you close or refresh the page. Nothing is stored on any server.
