Print Markdown

Preview the page, then print it.

Print preview uses the same Markdown engine as the editor. Your browser prints that preview. Page breaks, fonts, and margins can differ by Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Choose Save as PDF in the print dialog if you want a file.

Same preview engine. Your browser prints it.

Print mode shows the live Markdown preview on a page. Word, OpenDocument, and EPUB still use the conversion service. They are not a second print renderer.

What this preview can and cannot promise

The preview is the same document as the editor. Your browser and printer still control the final page.

Wide tables and code may overflow a portrait page. Switch to landscape or edit the source.

02

Images

Local images in this browser can print. Remote images are not fetched.

03

Fonts

The browser uses fonts installed on this machine.

04

Diagrams

Mermaid in the preview is what the browser will try to print.

Questions

What “same as preview” honestly means

Does print upload my file?

No. Print preview uses the same Markdown engine as the editor. The print dialog belongs to your browser.

How do I get a PDF file?

Open Print mode, click Print or save as PDF, then choose Save as PDF in the browser print dialog.

Will Chrome, Safari, and Firefox look identical?

No. Page breaks, fonts, and margins can differ. Physical printers can also scale or crop.

What about wide tables and code?

Use landscape paper or edit the source if a table is wider than the page. The preview shows the same document your browser will print.

Review the page, then print it.

Nothing is uploaded. Choose Save as PDF in the print dialog if you want a file.
