GitHub-style theme
A familiar README look out of the box, so your PDF matches what people see on GitHub.
Tables stay whole
Wide tables and code fences never get cut mid-page — the bug every other tool has.
Clickable links
All your README links remain live and clickable in the exported vector PDF.
Private by default
Your README never leaves your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Frequently asked questions
Will my README badges and images appear? +
Yes — images and shields.io badges render in the preview and the PDF, as long as their URLs are reachable from your browser.
Is this Markdown to PDF converter free? +
Yes — completely free with no login, no watermark and no limits. Conversion runs in your browser, so there are no server costs to pass on.
Is it private? Do my files get uploaded? +
Nothing is uploaded. Your Markdown is parsed and rendered to PDF entirely client-side in your browser. You can verify this in your browser DevTools Network tab — there are no upload requests.
Why do code blocks and tables get cut in other converters? +
Most tools ignore page-break rules, so atomic elements get sliced across page boundaries. We apply break-inside: avoid to code blocks, tables, images and headings, so they stay whole on a single page.
Is the exported PDF text selectable? +
Yes. We use the browser print engine to produce a true vector PDF with selectable, searchable text and clickable links — not a flattened image.
