Frequently Asked Questions — Text to PDF
Everything you need to know about how to text to PDF online
Which Markdown features are supported?
Headings, paragraphs, bullet and numbered lists, bold, italic, inline code, code blocks, block quotes and horizontal rules.
Can I add images?
Not in this tool. Create the text PDF, then use Merge PDF to combine it with image pages.
Are my files secure while I convert text to PDF?
Yes. Everything happens inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded, and nothing is stored on a server.
Do you keep a copy of my document?
No. The file lives in your browser's memory only. When you close or refresh the tab it is gone. We cannot see it, and neither can anyone else.
