About Us
Learn the story behind MarkPDF
Our Origin
MarkPDF was born from a simple pain point: as a developer who frequently handles Chinese technical documentation, I always encountered the problem of Chinese characters displaying as squares when using various online Markdown to PDF tools. This seemingly small issue seriously affected work efficiency. So I decided to create a Markdown to PDF tool that handles CJK text correctly.
Our Mission
Make it easy to turn Markdown into a correct PDF in as many languages as possible. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Bangla, Thai and many other scripts should come out with the right fonts and shaping, without installing anything or uploading your text.
Vision
Do one thing well: Markdown in, a correct PDF out, for every script, entirely in the browser.
Product Roadmap
- ✅ Converter with live preview, text PDF and image PDF
- ✅ Interface in 24 languages
- ✅ Math formulas (KaTeX) and code highlighting
- ✅ Links from AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude) straight into the converter
- 📋 Custom CSS styles
- 📋 Header/footer settings
- 📋 Batch conversion and local image upload
Who Builds It
MarkPDF is built and maintained by an independent developer. There are no accounts and no server-side processing: your documents are rendered in your browser and never leave your device.
