Sending it to someone who doesn't know Markdown?

A .md file opens as plain text on most phones and computers, full of # and * symbols. A PDF fixes that. A link does too, and opens as a page in any browser with no download. Just want to read the file? Use the Markdown Viewer. Already have a PDF to send? PDF to URL turns it into a link.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the Markdown to PDF converter free?

Yes, with no daily limit and no watermark. Your browser makes the PDF, so it needs no account. Getting a link is free too: up to 2 MB without an account (the link lasts about 15 minutes until you sign in). A new account gets Pro free for 7 days, no card.

How do I convert an .md file to PDF?

Click "Open .md file" or paste the Markdown, check the preview, and click "Download PDF". Your browser's print window opens with only the formatted text. Choose "Save as PDF" as the printer and save.

How do I save it as PDF on an iPhone or Android phone?

Tap "Download PDF". On iPhone the print screen opens: tap the share button and pick "Save to Files". On Android, pick "Save as PDF" as the printer, then tap the download button.

Is my Markdown uploaded?

No. The preview and the PDF are made in your browser. Your text is only sent to Litehost if you click "Or get a link instead".

Can I copy text from the PDF?

Yes. The PDF has real text, not a picture of it, so it can be searched and copied, and links in your Markdown still open.

Why is there a date or web address at the top of my PDF?

Some browsers add headers and footers when printing. In the print window, open "More settings" and turn off "Headers and footers".

Which Markdown does it support?

GitHub-style Markdown: headings, lists, links, images with a web address, tables, task lists, code blocks and quotes. Images that are only on your computer don't show; use images with a web address.

Should I send a PDF or a link?

A PDF is a file: if you change something, you send a new one. A link opens the same text as a page on any phone, and on a paid plan you can update it and keep the same link.
