Markdown to PDF converter
Paste Markdown and download a clean, paginated PDF with real, selectable text: headings, lists, bold, italic, code blocks and links. Letter or A4, page numbers included.
Runs on our API. What you enter is sent over HTTPS to api.dokazindustries.com, which does the work and sends the result straight back. The API keeps no copy of it; it counts calls per network (by a one-way hash of your IP address) to hold the free tier to 100 calls a day.
How to use it
- Paste or type your Markdown. A title is optional; it is printed at the top and set as the PDF's title.
- Pick Letter or A4.
- Press Make PDF. The file downloads as soon as it is ready.
Need this in bulk, or from code?
The same job is one HTTP call to our API: POST /v1/pdf/markdown. 100 calls a day free with no key; paid plans from $9 a month. One key
works for every API.
Questions
Which Markdown does it support?
Headings (# to ######), paragraphs, bullet and numbered lists, **bold**, *italic*, `inline code`, fenced ``` code blocks, and [links](url), which print as the link text followed by the address. Anything else, such as tables or images, prints as its literal text.
Is my text sent anywhere?
Yes: to make the PDF, the page sends your Markdown over HTTPS to api.dokazindustries.com, which returns the PDF. The API keeps no copy of the text. If the text is confidential, keep that in mind.
Why do some characters print as “?”
The PDF uses the standard built-in fonts, which cover Western European characters (Latin-1 and Windows-1252: accents, €, curly quotes, dashes). Other scripts, such as Greek, Cyrillic, Chinese or emoji, print as “?”.
Can I select and copy text in the PDF?
Yes. The text is real text, not a picture, so it can be selected, copied and searched. Pages are numbered.
Is there a limit?
Up to 200 KB of Markdown and 400 pages per PDF. Each PDF counts as one call on the API's free tier, shared with the other tools here that use the API.
