# Markdown to PDF Converter — Headings, Lists, Tables & Code

> Turn Markdown into a properly typeset PDF with real headings, lists, tables and code blocks.

To convert Markdown to PDF, paste your Markdown and download the result. Headings, bullet and numbered lists, block quotes, fenced code and pipe tables are all laid out as real typeset elements, and the text stays selectable and searchable because the PDF contains vector text rather than a rendered image of the page.

## FAQ

### Are images in my Markdown included?

No — image syntax is reduced to its alt text. Remote images would need to be fetched, which means uploading your document's references to a server, and that would break the guarantee that nothing leaves your browser.

### Why is bold text not bold in the PDF?

The renderer sets one weight per block: headings bold, quotes italic, body regular. Mixed inline weights need per-run text measurement, which is a genuinely different renderer. The emphasis markers are stripped rather than printed literally.

### What happens to emoji and non-Latin characters?

The standard PDF fonts are Latin-1 only. Typographic characters — smart quotes, en dashes, ellipses — are transliterated automatically; anything else becomes a question mark and the count is reported, so you know rather than discovering it later.
