A PDF built as a document, not a screenshot
Most browser-based Markdown-to-PDF tools take a picture of a web page and wrap it in a PDF container. The result looks acceptable on screen and falls apart everywhere else: you cannot select the text, you cannot search it, screen readers cannot read it, the file is enormous, and page breaks land wherever the screenshot happened to run out of room — often through the middle of a paragraph.
Morph-Doc lays the document out properly instead. Every character is real vector text, so the PDF is searchable, selectable, copy-pasteable, and accessible. Files stay small — a twenty-page report is typically a few hundred kilobytes rather than several megabytes.
Page breaks are decided by the layout engine rather than by chance. A heading will not be stranded alone at the foot of a page, table headers repeat when a table runs across a break, and code blocks stay whole wherever they will fit. Pages are numbered in the footer.
The document is set in Source Serif 4, a typeface designed for extended reading in print, with JetBrains Mono for code. Both fonts are embedded in the PDF, so the file renders identically on a machine that has never heard of either one.
How to convert Markdown to PDF
Load your Markdown
Paste the text into the editor, or drop a .md file onto the left pane.
Check the preview
The right pane shows a page-shaped preview with the same margins and text column the PDF will use.
Download the PDF
Click Download PDF. The file is built locally and saved to your device.
Questions
Can I select and search text in the PDF?
Yes. The PDF contains real text rather than an image, so search, copy, and text selection all work, and screen readers can read it.
Does it keep my tables and code formatting?
Yes. Tables keep their column alignment and repeat their header row across page breaks. Code blocks keep their indentation and get a shaded background with a border.
Why does the PDF look slightly different from the preview?
The preview is a web page and the PDF is a paginated document, so line breaks can fall in different places. If you need the output to match the on-screen rendering exactly, use the Print button — that hands the page to your browser's own print engine.
Can I set the page size or margins?
Not yet. Every PDF is US Letter with 0.9-inch margins. Configurable page setup is planned.
Are images included in the PDF?
Yes. PNG, JPEG, GIF, and BMP images are downloaded and embedded, scaled to fit the text column. Images that fail to load leave a labelled placeholder and a note rather than breaking the conversion. SVG images cannot be embedded in a PDF.
Can I convert a .md file to PDF?
Yes. Drop the .md file onto the upload area, or paste its contents into the editor, then download the PDF. Files ending .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, and .txt work the same way.
Is my file uploaded to convert it?
No. The PDF is generated in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, which makes this safe for confidential documents.
