Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Markdown to PDF online?
Paste your Markdown or open a UTF-8 .md or .markdown file. Check the preview, choose A4 or US Letter, adjust the font size and margins, then click Download PDF. Converall creates the PDF in your browser and starts the download without a print dialog.
Is the Markdown to PDF converter free?
Yes. The current Markdown to PDF tool is free to use and does not require an account or subscription. You can edit, preview, and download without signing up.
Are my Markdown files uploaded or saved?
Your document is edited and converted locally; the conversion application does not upload or automatically save it. Refreshing or closing the page clears the editor. The website loads Google tags, and remote images are requested from their hosts; see the privacy policy for those network requests. Keep a copy of important source files.
Which Markdown formatting and images are supported?
Headings, paragraphs, bold, emphasis, lists, quotes, links, tables, code blocks, emoji, and images are supported. Use public HTTP/HTTPS image URLs or embedded PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP data. Remote hosts must allow browser access (CORS); local relative image paths need accessible URLs. Raw HTML is shown as text. Local formulas, vector Mermaid diagrams, task lists, footnotes, and syntax highlighting are supported. Italic emphasis uses an underline.
What are the file size and encoding limits?
Open a UTF-8 .md or .markdown file up to 32 MiB. Pasted text has the same limit, measured as UTF-8 bytes rather than character count. Each image can be up to 10 MiB. Large documents, complex tables, and limited device memory can still slow down or prevent conversion within these limits.
Can the PDF include Chinese, Japanese, and emoji?
Yes. The PDF embeds Noto Sans SC for English, Chinese, Japanese, and mixed documents. Some Japanese kanji use the font’s Simplified Chinese regional forms. Noto Emoji is added when needed; emoji remain selectable text and appear in monochrome. Fonts load when you download, and unsupported characters are reported before export.
Why does the downloaded PDF look different from the preview?
The preview is a continuous document using your system fonts. The PDF uses embedded fonts and adds page breaks for the selected paper size and margins, so line wrapping and pagination can differ. You can adjust A4 or US Letter, font size, and margins before downloading. PDF text remains selectable and searchable.
What should I do if the PDF download fails?
Keep this page open and read the error message. The first export loads the PDF engine and fonts, so check your connection and try again if loading fails. For an image error, check its URL, format, size, and host permissions, or remove the image. Replace unsupported characters if reported. Your editor content stays on the page after a failed export; refreshing would clear it.
