Your Markdown,
as a print-ready PDF.
Paste Markdown, drop a file, or fetch a public GitHub README. md2pdf renders it with your chosen print theme and opens your browser's PDF dialog — all on your device.

Converter
Three ways in — a repository URL, a Markdown file, or the keyboard. The preview is the document.
1 · GitHub repo URL
Pulls the README (tries main/master plus case variants), resolves relative images and badges, and renders below. Private repos aren't supported.
2 · …or paste / upload Markdown
3 · Print theme
Dark reads well on screen but prints poorly — we auto-lighten it for print and PDF.
4 · Options
Export uses your browser's print-to-PDF (100% client-side). Choose “Save as PDF” in the print dialog.
Documentation book
Point at a repository, choose the Markdown files that belong together, and print one paginated book — cover, master contents, and every chapter in the order you set.
1 · Repository
Finds README, .md, .markdown, and .mdown files, including folders. A book holds at most 30 files; public repositories only.
Listing notice
2 · Markdown files
No repository scanned yet.
3 · Book details
4 · Print theme
5 · Chapters
Print order follows this list. Use the arrow buttons to move a chapter, or × to remove it.
Chapters appear here after a scan.
Some files could not be loaded
6 · PDF export
Create one PDF for every built chapter and pack them into a ZIP archive. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Up to 30 PDFs and 128 MB per ZIP.
Some content was simplified: unsupported characters are shown as ? and inaccessible images are skipped.
Keep this tab open until the download begins.
Files skipped during export
Each chapter becomes its own PDF inside the ZIP, with its folder path preserved.
A book prints only when every selected chapter has loaded. Export uses your browser's print-to-PDF — choose “Save as PDF” in the dialog.
Engineered for Technical Accuracy
From GitHub URL parsing to embedded CJK font rendering, every stage is built for zero data leakage, high print fidelity, and deterministic output.
Deep GitHub Auto-Discovery
Accepts any GitHub URL format: full repo links, subfolder paths, tree views, blob files, or raw URLs. Automatically queries the GitHub API, probes 10 standard README filenames, and rewrites relative images and links to raw GitHub content.
100% Client-Side Privacy
No login, no user accounts, and zero application backend. All markdown parsing, HTML sanitization via DOMPurify, and PDF compilation run entirely in browser memory.
Multi-Chapter Doc Books
Scan entire repositories via Git Trees API. Select up to 30 markdown files with tri-state directory checkboxes, reorder chapters, and generate automated cover pages and tables of contents.
Multilingual Font Embedding
PDFs embed standalone TTF fonts directly in output files. Full typography support for Latin, Cyrillic, Turkish, and CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) via embedded Noto Sans CJK.
4 Print Themes & Bulk ZIP Export
Choose between Clean, Business, Academic, and Dark themes with print margin optimization. Print single documents or books directly, or export a packaged ZIP containing individual chapter PDFs with deterministic naming.
How it works
Three steps, no account, no server-side renderer.
Give it a repository
Paste a GitHub repo URL, branch path, or paste Markdown directly. md2pdf resolves default branches, auto-discovers READMEs, and parses GitHub Flavored Markdown in milliseconds.
Open the converterWatch it render
Filter files through the searchable tree, sequence chapters, add titles, and choose from Clean, Business, Academic, or Dark print themes.
Compare the themesPrint to PDF
Trigger isolated browser print to save a pixel-perfect PDF, or click Export to download a zipped archive of all selected chapter PDFs with self-hosted font embedding.
Read the privacy noteBuilt for Real Documentation Needs
Whether you are boarding a 14-hour flight or handing over an enterprise software deliverable, md2pdf turns Markdown into publication-grade documents.
Offline Reading & Travel
Download and archive complex repository documentation into readable, paginated PDFs for flights, commutes, e-readers, or air-gapped development environments where internet access is unavailable or restricted.
- Retains internal heading links and relative images offline
- High-contrast typography tuned for physical reading & tablets
- Table of contents enables quick chapter navigation
Client Handover & Deliverables
Deliver software projects to non-technical stakeholders and clients with professional, branded PDF documentation rather than raw GitHub repository URLs.
- Automated cover page with title, subtitle, and date
- Clean table and code formatting that looks executive-ready
- Single-click batch ZIP export for client deliverables
Team Onboarding & Runbooks
Turn fragmented repository guides, architecture notes, and deployment runbooks into a single consolidated, sequenced onboarding handbook for new hires.
- Assemble multiple markdown files into one cohesive book
- Custom chapter ordering: overview → setup → architecture
- Standardized print layout across all engineering repos
Confidential Notes & Specs
Convert proprietary code documentation, API specs, and private markdown notes into PDFs with absolute confidence. All compilation occurs inside local browser memory.
- Zero server upload — text never traverses the internet
- DOMPurify sanitization ensures safe, clean output
- No account registration or token generation required
Four print themes
Each theme is a print stylesheet, not a colour swap — pick the register your document wants.
Clean
DefaultNeutral sans, the default for specs and READMEs.
Business
ExecutiveSerif headings and a dark code block for reports.
Academic
FormalJustified serif pages for long-form prose.
Dark
OLED / ScreenScreen-first; auto-lightens for print so nothing is lost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about privacy, GitHub API rate limits, font embedding, and documentation books.
Is my repository code or private Markdown uploaded to any server?
No. 100% of markdown parsing, sanitization, PDF layout, and ZIP packaging happens directly inside your browser memory. md2pdf has zero application backend, zero database, and zero telemetry.
What happens if the GitHub API rate limit is exceeded?
When GitHub unauthenticated API limits are reached, md2pdf automatically falls back to raw content streaming via raw.githubusercontent.com, allowing public READMEs to convert without interruption.
How does the Documentation Book builder work?
The Book builder uses the Git Trees API to scan the repository structure. You can search, filter, and select up to 30 markdown files with tri-state directory checkboxes, reorder the chapter sequence, generate an automatic cover and master table of contents, and print or download a ZIP archive of PDFs.
Are relative images and internal links preserved in the PDF?
Yes! Relative image paths (such as ./assets/screenshot.png) are automatically rewritten to raw.githubusercontent.com pinned to the specific branch or commit SHA, and external links are preserved as clickable PDF URI annotations.
Which languages and Unicode scripts are supported?
md2pdf embeds standalone fonts in the exported PDFs: DejaVu Sans and DejaVu Sans Mono for Latin, Cyrillic, and Turkish, and Noto Sans CJK SC for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text.
Can I print without creating a PDF file on disk?
Yes. md2pdf features a dedicated browser print isolation engine. Clicking "Print" formats only the styled document sheet with native page breaks, allowing you to use your browser's Print dialog to print directly or save as PDF.
