Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the Markdown PDF VS Code extension?+
No. VS Code extensions like 'Markdown PDF' bundle a headless Chromium and can be slow to set up or break on updates. MD to PDF runs in your browser — paste your Markdown and download, nothing to install.
How do I convert a file I'm editing in VS Code?+
Select all (Ctrl/Cmd+A), copy, and paste it into the editor here — or drag the .md file straight from the VS Code Explorer into the upload area.
Does it keep my code blocks and syntax formatting?+
Yes. Fenced code blocks render in clean monospace, and tables, links, and custom page breaks are preserved in the PDF.
