Everything a text document needs
Markdown that looks right
Headings, bold and italic, nested lists, task lists, quotes, tables, code blocks, horizontal rules, footnotes and pictures.
Plain text as typed
Line breaks and indentation are kept, long lines wrap under their indentation and tabs line up. Choose a monospace font for logs and code.
Real text, not pictures
Latin, Greek and Cyrillic text is embedded with fonts, so you can select, copy and search it. Links stay clickable.
Bookmarks from headings
Every Markdown heading becomes a bookmark in the PDF's sidebar, and links to headings jump to them.
Page layout
A4, Letter, A5, Legal, A3 or a custom size, portrait or landscape, margins, one to three columns, text and page colours.
Several files at once
Drop many files: get one PDF with each file starting on a new page under its name, or a ZIP with one PDF per file.
Tips
Page numbers
Write {page} and {pages} in the header or footer, for example Page {page} of {pages}.
Page breaks
In Markdown, a line with \newpage or <!-- pagebreak --> starts a new page.
Code listings
Use Plain text with the Monospace font for source code and logs: indentation and alignment are kept exactly.
Other alphabets
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai and emoji are drawn as sharp pictures, so they print correctly but can't be selected.

Text to PDF FAQ
Is this text to PDF converter free?
Yes. Convert as much text as you like, with no account, no daily limit and no watermark.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The PDF is made in your browser and your text never leaves your device.
How do I convert Markdown to PDF?
Paste your Markdown or drop a .md file and choose Markdown. Headings, lists, tables, code blocks and links are formatted, and headings become bookmarks.
Can I select and copy the text in the PDF?
Yes, for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters, which are embedded with real fonts. Text in other alphabets and emoji is drawn as pictures and can't be selected.
Can I convert a .txt file to PDF?
Yes. Drop it on the page or use Add files. UTF-8, UTF-16 and Windows-1252 files are read correctly.
Can I combine several text files into one PDF?
Yes. Add several files and choose One PDF: each file starts on a new page with its name as a title. Or choose One PDF per file to get a ZIP.
Are pictures in Markdown included?
Pictures you insert with Insert picture are. Pictures linked from the web are not downloaded; their description is shown instead.
Does it run HTML in Markdown?
No. HTML tags are removed and only their text is kept.
