Markdown to PDF

How to use it

1. Paste your Markdown, for example a README, notes or a spec.
2. Check the live preview on the right. A line with --- page-break --- starts a new page.
3. Choose page size and margins, and edit the footer: {title} | Page {page} of {pages} is set by default.
4. Click Make PDF, check the preview, and download.

Supported Markdown

• Headings, lists, task lists, links and images (public image URLs)
• Tables (GitHub style)
• Fenced code blocks in a monospace font
• A line with just --- page-break --- starts a new page

Why not print from the editor?

Most editors print with their UI colors, cut-off code lines and no page margins. This tool uses a print stylesheet made for paper: 11pt body text, wrapped code, tables that don't split mid-row, and margins that suit US Letter or A4.

Do it from code or an AI assistant

The same renderer is an HTTP API and an MCP tool, so this exact result can come from a script or from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. See the Render API reference and the MCP setup guide.

HTTP API

curl -X POST https://render.cuelark.com/v1/pdf -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"markdown":"# Project brief\n\n| Item | Cost |\n|---|---:|\n| Design | $4,500 |","format":"letter","footer":"{title} | Page {page} of {pages}"}' \
  -o document.pdf
