Is my data secure when converting Markdown to PDF?

Your data never leaves your browser. MarkdownToPDF processes everything locally using JavaScript — no files are uploaded to any server. Your content stays 100% private on your device.

What Markdown features does MarkdownToPDF support?

MarkdownToPDF supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) including tables, task lists, strikethrough, and autolinks. Additionally, it supports KaTeX math equations (inline and block), Mermaid diagrams (flowcharts, sequence diagrams, etc.), and syntax highlighting for code blocks in dozens of languages.

How does the PDF export work?

The PDF export uses your browser's built-in print functionality. When you click Download PDF, a new window opens with a print-optimized version of your document. You can then save it as a PDF using your browser's Save as PDF option in the print dialog.

Can I use MarkdownToPDF offline?

Once the page is loaded in your browser, the core editing and preview features work offline. PDF export also works offline as it uses the browser's native print dialog.

What is GitHub Flavored Markdown?

GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) is GitHub's extended version of standard Markdown. It adds tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks, and fenced code blocks that millions of developers use daily in READMEs, issues, and pull requests.

MarkdownToPDF uses remark-gfm to parse every GFM extension, ensuring your GitHub-formatted documents convert to PDF with pixel-perfect fidelity.

Full GFM Support

Tables

Full GFM table support with column alignment (left, center, right). Tables render with clean borders and proper spacing in both preview and PDF output.

| Feature | Status |
|---------|--------|
| Tables  | ✅     |

Task Lists

Interactive-style checkboxes render correctly. Track TODO items, project progress, and checklists in your exported PDFs.

- [x] Completed task
- [ ] Pending task

Strikethrough

Use ~~double tildes~~ for strikethrough text. Perfect for showing revisions, deprecated items, or completed tasks in documentation.

~~deprecated~~ → new approach

Autolinks

URLs and email addresses are automatically converted to clickable links. No need to wrap them in markdown link syntax.

https://example.com → clickable link
