# Welcome to Markdown to PDF

Write on the left, see the finished page on the right, then press **Download PDF**. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded, there's no account, and there's never a watermark.

> [!TIP]
> Open **Style** to change the theme, fonts, paper size, margins, headers and footers. Replace this text with your own, or drop a `.md` file anywhere on the editor.

## Text formatting

You can use **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, ==highlights==, `inline code`, H~2~O, E = mc^2^, [links](https://mdtopdfonline.com) and emoji shortcodes :rocket: :sparkles:.

1. Numbered lists
2. With nested items
   - Bullets inside
   - As deep as you like

- [x] Task lists render as real checkboxes
- [ ] Ready for your next meeting notes

## Tables

| Feature | Markdown to PDF | Typical converter |
| :-- | :-: | :-: |
| No signup, no watermark | ✅ | Sometimes |
| Files stay on your device | ✅ | Rarely |
| Page numbers & headers | ✅ | Rarely |
| Math, diagrams & code | ✅ | Partly |

## Code with syntax highlighting

```ts
function toPdf(markdown: string): Promise<Blob> {
  // 200+ languages, highlighted exactly as they'll print
  return render(markdown, { theme: 'clean', pageSize: 'A4' });
}
```

## Math

Inline math like $\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$ or \(e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0\), and display equations:

$$
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2}\,dx = \sqrt{\pi}
$$

## Diagrams

```mermaid
flowchart LR
  A[Write Markdown] --> B[Live preview]
  B --> C{Looks good?}
  C -- Yes --> D[Download PDF]
  C -- No --> A
```

\newpage

## Page breaks

The `\newpage` line above starts a new page in the PDF. You can also write `<!-- pagebreak -->`, or put `[toc]` on its own line to insert a table of contents.

## Callouts and footnotes

> [!NOTE]
> GitHub-style alerts work: NOTE, TIP, IMPORTANT, WARNING and CAUTION.

Footnotes are collected at the end of the document.[^1]

Why use it

Why use this Markdown editor tool

  • A real code editor

    Built on CodeMirror — multi-cursor, find and replace, smart list continuation and Markdown-aware highlighting.

  • Preview that matches the PDF

    The preview uses the same theme and page size as your export, so what you see is what you print.

  • Autosave and local files

    Drafts autosave in your browser. In Chrome and Edge, open a .md file and save changes straight back to it.

How to

How to use the Markdown editor converter

  1. STEP 01

    Start typing

    Use the toolbar or shortcuts — Ctrl/⌘+B for bold, Ctrl/⌘+K for links, Ctrl/⌘+F to find.

  2. STEP 02

    Organise with headings

    Add [toc] to generate a table of contents from your headings.

  3. STEP 03

    Export when ready

    Download PDF, HTML or Markdown, or share a link that contains the whole document.

A Markdown editor built for documents

Many online Markdown editors stop at a preview. This one is built around the finished document: the preview is a real page with your margins, fonts and paper size, and a single click turns it into a PDF. When you need it, there’s a full formatting toolbar; when you don’t, it gets out of the way.

Writing features

  • Formatting toolbar for headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, tables, code, math, diagrams and page breaks
  • Keyboard shortcuts for everything common
  • Smart list continuation and indentation
  • Find and replace with regular expressions
  • Scroll sync between editor and preview, and double-click in the preview to jump to the source

Your work stays yours

There’s no sign-in and no cloud. Drafts autosave locally, files open from and save to your own disk, and share links carry the document inside the URL rather than storing it on a server.
