Frequently Asked Questions

Which Markdown features are supported?

All standard Markdown syntax: headings (H1-H6), bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, code blocks, tables, and horizontal rules.

Does it support code syntax highlighting?

Yes. Code blocks are formatted with monospace fonts and visual styling to clearly distinguish code from body text.

Can I convert a .md file?

The tool provides an editor where you paste or type Markdown. To convert a .md file, simply open it in a text editor, copy the content, and paste it into the tool.

What does the output look like?

The PDF output has clean, professional typography with properly sized headings, readable body text, formatted tables, and indented code blocks — comparable to what you'd get from a dedicated publishing tool.

Perfect for developers, writers, and documentation teams who write in Markdown but need to deliver in PDF. Clean typography, proper syntax highlighting, and instant conversion — all client-side.
