How it works
To convert Markdown to PDF, HTML, or Word, paste your Markdown into this page or drop a .md file in — it renders live as you type and downloads in the format you pick, all inside your browser with nothing uploaded.
Markdown is parsed with GitHub-flavoured rules: tables, strikethrough, task lists, fenced code blocks, and autolinks are all understood, and a single newline is treated as a line break — which is how it behaves in chat clients and issue trackers, and therefore how most people write it. The result renders in the preview immediately.
HTML output comes in two forms. A bare fragment is what you want when it is going into an existing page or a CMS field. A complete page adds a document wrapper and a readable stylesheet that handles light and dark, which is what you want when the file is the deliverable.
PDF and Word are typeset rather than screenshotted. The rendered document is reduced to its structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables, links — and each writer lays that out natively: real page breaks and wrapped text in the PDF, real Word styles, real bulleted and numbered lists, and clickable hyperlinks in the .docx. Both are built here in the browser, so nothing is uploaded and there is no server-side rendering queue.
Two limits are worth stating rather than discovering. The PDF uses the standard PDF fonts, which cover Latin text and common punctuation but not Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, or emoji; anything outside that range is replaced and the tool tells you exactly how many characters and which ones, so you can switch to Word or HTML instead. And images are replaced by their alt text in the PDF and Word output, since neither writer embeds picture data.
Markdown allows raw HTML, so a pasted document is untrusted markup. The preview renders inside a sandboxed frame that cannot run scripts, and any script elements or inline event handlers are stripped from the output too — with a note saying what was removed, because a document that contained one is exactly the document whose author needs to know.
FAQ
How do I convert a Markdown file to PDF?
Drop the .md file onto this page, leave the format on PDF, and press download. The document is typeset in your browser with real page breaks — not a screenshot of a preview.
Does the Word output have real headings and lists?
Yes. Headings use Word’s own Heading styles, so the navigation pane and table-of-contents feature work; lists are real bulleted and numbered lists, and links are clickable.
Why did some characters come out as question marks in the PDF?
The standard PDF fonts only cover Latin text. Non-Latin scripts and emoji cannot be drawn without embedding a font file, so they are replaced and the count is shown. Export to Word or HTML to keep them.
Are tables and code blocks supported?
Yes. GitHub-flavoured tables become real tables in all three outputs, and fenced code blocks keep their monospacing and shading.
What happens to images in my Markdown?
The preview and the HTML output show them. The PDF and Word output replace them with their alt text, because embedding image data is not something these writers do.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Parsing, rendering, and file generation all happen in your browser, and the monitor under the tool shows zero bytes sent during processing.
