FAQ

Is my Markdown uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your input and the generated PDF are never sent to or stored on any server, so even confidential documents are safe.
Which Markdown syntax is supported?
Headings, bold and italic, bullet and numbered lists, blockquotes, code blocks, tables, links, and images - the major CommonMark/GFM syntax. Rendering is powered by the marked library.
Will long content become a multi-page PDF?
Yes. When the preview does not fit on a single page, the PDF is automatically split into multiple pages based on the content height.
Can I select and copy text inside the PDF?
This tool renders the preview as an image embedded in the PDF, which preserves layout faithfully but means the text is not selectable or searchable. If you need selectable text, consider your browser's "Print to PDF" feature instead.
Will scripts or dangerous code be executed?
No. Before rendering the preview, the HTML is sanitized with DOMPurify, which automatically removes dangerous code such as &lt;script&gt; and event handlers, so previewing and converting is safe.
