Are images supported?

Yes, you can use standard Markdown image syntax with publicly accessible URLs to include images in your PDF.

Can I use custom CSS?

Currently, we use a professional, clean default style optimized for readability and formal document standards.

What Markdown syntax is supported?

The tool supports standard CommonMark syntax including headings (# to ######), bold, italic, ordered and unordered lists, inline code, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, and horizontal rules. HTML tags inside Markdown are not rendered.

Can I control page size or margins in the output PDF?

Currently the tool outputs A4 portrait pages with standard margins. Custom page sizes and margin controls are on the roadmap. For precise layout control, consider exporting to PDF from a desktop Markdown editor.

Does the conversion happen on a server or in my browser?

Everything runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib and a JavaScript Markdown parser. Your text is never transmitted to any server, making it safe for confidential documents and notes.

Can I include a custom header or footer on every page of the PDF?

The Markdown to PDF tool supports custom CSS injection, which means you can use @page rules with margin boxes to add repeating headers and footers. Include CSS like @page { @top-center { content: "My Document Title"; } @bottom-right { content: counter(page); } } in the CSS panel to add page numbers and headings. This approach works with the browser's print rendering engine and is supported in Chrome-based browsers. A live preview helps you confirm the layout before downloading the final PDF.

Local processing

Our local file, text and chart tools process content on your device using JavaScript, browser APIs and, where needed, WebAssembly. Our usage events do not include filenames, file contents, input text, chart values, raw errors, emails or license references. Network lookup tools (such as DNS, WHOIS, IP and speed tests) contact external services for their stated purpose. Loading the website, fonts, libraries and models also makes network requests. WebAssembly itself does not prevent network access.
