Your browser's print dialog opens — choose Save as PDF as the destination. Output is real selectable text, not a screenshot.
What the PDF preserves
- Headings and document structure — with sensible page-break behavior (no heading orphaned at the bottom of a page).
- Code blocks with syntax highlighting — kept together across page breaks where possible.
- Tables — rendered as real tables, not ASCII art.
- GitHub Flavored Markdown — task lists, strikethrough, and autolinks all render.
- Selectable, searchable text — the PDF is generated by your browser's print engine, not rasterized to images, so copy-paste and Ctrl+F work in the output.
Why the print dialog?
Browser print engines are the highest-quality HTML-to-PDF renderers that exist — better than any JavaScript PDF library. Tools that generate PDFs directly in JavaScript either rasterize the page into blurry images or lose most CSS. Routing through Save as PDF costs one extra click and produces a document with real vector text, working links, and correct pagination.
Tip: in the print dialog, set margins to Default and disable Headers and footers for the cleanest output.
FAQ
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely client-side. The markdown never leaves your machine.
Can I convert from the command line or CI?
For automation, pair a headless browser with this page, or share the markdown via our API and let recipients export from the share page — every shared document has the same Export PDF button.
Do mermaid diagrams work?
Yes — ```mermaid code fences render as diagrams in the preview and print as vector graphics in the PDF.
What if I want a link instead of a file?
PDFs are for email attachments and archives; for everything else a link is lighter. Share your markdown and send a URL that always shows the latest version — with the same PDF export available to every viewer.
