Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Every step of the Markdown → PDF conversion happens locally on your device. The files never leave your browser — you can verify this in your network tab.

What's the maximum file size?

There is no hard cap. SwiftConvert is limited only by the memory available to your browser tab, so very large markdown inputs may run slower on low-end devices.

Are images inside the document included?

Relative image references are kept as-is. Remote images render at view time but aren't embedded into the output file.

About this converter

Markdown → PDF

Markdown → PDF — the fast, private way to turn Markdown (.md) files with headings, lists, and code blocks into a portable, print-ready PDF. Drag files in below and the converter runs entirely inside your browser tab. No sign-up, no upload, no size cap beyond what your device can handle.

GitHub-flavored Markdown is parsed, including tables and fenced code.
Inline HTML inside the Markdown is passed through.
Output is a single downloadable PDF, ready to print or share.
Convert as many files as you like — each one triggers a direct download.

When to use this Markdown to PDF converter

A dedicated markdown-to-pdf converter is the fastest option when you need a clean .pdf file without installing software, signing up, or waiting for a server round-trip. Typical uses include turning meeting notes, specs, or docs into a shareable PDF without opening Word. Because everything runs in your browser tab, you can convert one file or a whole batch on a work laptop, a shared computer, a Chromebook, or even a phone — anywhere a modern browser runs.

How SwiftConvert converts Markdown to PDF

SwiftConvert uses well-tested open-source libraries compiled to run inside the browser. When you drop a markdown file, it is parsed in memory, transformed into pdf, and offered back to you as a direct download. No temporary copy is written to a server, no queue, no worker cluster — the CPU doing the work is the one in front of you. That means results are usually ready in seconds for small files, and speed scales with your device rather than someone else's free plan.

Tips for the best PDF output

For best results, start from a clean markdown source: fewer nested layers, embedded fonts where possible, and reasonable file sizes convert most reliably. If a batch stalls, split it into smaller groups so the browser can free memory between runs. On mobile, close background tabs before converting very large files. If a specific PDF setting matters to you — resolution, quality, page size — check the options exposed above the drop zone; SwiftConvert exposes the knobs that actually change the output, and leaves the rest on sensible defaults.
