Text or Markdown → PDF

Paste text (or Markdown for headings, lists, links, code blocks) and get a formatted PDF in seconds.

Turning a text file or Markdown draft into a PDF is a common need — emailing a manuscript, printing a talk outline, or sharing docs with someone who can't handle Markdown. This tool renders text with sensible defaults (Inter or system serif, 11pt, 1-inch margins) and supports Markdown for lightweight formatting.

Markdown support

CommonMark syntax: headings (#), lists, links, bold/italic, blockquotes, code blocks with mono font, tables. Toggle off to render as plain text with no interpretation — useful when your source contains Markdown-looking characters that shouldn't be formatted.

Layout controls

Font family (system serif, Inter sans, JetBrains Mono), font size (8–14pt), line spacing, and margins. Paper size A4/Letter/Legal. Optional page numbers in the footer.

Special cases

Very long lines wrap automatically. Code blocks preserve indentation with monospaced font. Unicode is fully supported (emoji, non-Latin scripts) as long as the font contains the glyphs — falls back to system default when it doesn't.

Tool FAQs

Everything you need to know about using Text to PDF Converter.

Does my PDF get uploaded to a server?+

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js loaded as WebAssembly. Open your browser's Network tab while processing and you'll see zero uploads — your PDFs never leave your device. That's why confidential contracts, tax records, and internal docs are safe to run through this tool.

Can I include images in the Markdown?+

Yes, if they're linked as data URIs or from a CORS-permissive URL. The tool fetches and embeds them. For arbitrary image URLs blocked by CORS, save the image locally and drop it into the editor as a data URI.

Can I process multiple PDFs at once?+

Yes — batch mode is available on the Pro plan. Free users process one file at a time. Pro unlocks unlimited concurrent PDF processing across every tool in the suite.
