About Markdown to PDF
Upload a README, notes or documentation written in Markdown and download a PDF to print or send to someone who doesn’t read .md files.
Conversion runs with LibreOffice on GlobTool’s server. Check the result for complex Markdown such as nested lists, tables and code blocks, which can come out simpler than on GitHub.
Tips for a clean PDF
- Keep images out of the file or expect them to be missing; only the .md file is uploaded.
- Simple headings, paragraphs, lists and emphasis convert most reliably.
- Check tables and code blocks in the result, as they can come out plainer than on GitHub.

- 1Choose or drop a .md file

Questions
Are images in the Markdown included?
Images linked from the web or from other files are not uploaded with your .md file, so they are not included.
Will it look like GitHub?
Not exactly. The PDF uses document fonts and layout rather than GitHub’s styles.
Which extensions work?
.md and .markdown.
