What is Markdown?
Markdown is a simple way to format text with plain characters: a # in front of a line makes a heading, **two stars** make text bold and a dash starts a list. It is used for README files on GitHub, notes in Obsidian and Notion, documentation and chat apps.
Markdown is great for writing, but people you share with often expect a PDF. This free converter turns your .md file into a tidy PDF that opens on any device and prints well.
Why convert Markdown to PDF?
- Share documents with anyone – a PDF opens on every phone and computer.
- Print notes, reports, homework and documentation with clean formatting.
- Send a README, CV or project report by email as one file.
- Keep a fixed copy that looks the same everywhere.
