Markdown to PDF: guide & how to use

Preview Markdown as HTML, then generate a PDF. Rendering uses headless Chromium on the server—avoid pasting secrets you cannot share. This guide is part of our guides library in the Data & format converters category—JSON, CSV, YAML, XML, Base64, URLs, Markdown, and PDF export—everything stays in your browser except PDF rendering.

Common questions

Is my Markdown sent to a server?

Yes. HTML is sent to our PDF endpoint to print with Chromium. Do not use for confidential content unless your deployment policy allows it.

Local development and Chrome

On your machine you can set CHROME_PATH to your Chrome or Chromium binary if the default path is wrong.
