About the formats
What is Markdown?
Markdown is plain text with simple marks for formatting, such as # for a heading and **bold** for bold text. It was created by John Gruber in 2004 and is now the standard for README files, documentation, notes apps and chat. ConvertOrino reads and writes GitHub Flavored Markdown, including tables.
What is PDF?
PDF was created by Adobe in 1993 and is now an open ISO standard. A PDF looks the same on every screen and printer, which makes it the standard for documents, forms, receipts and scanned papers.
Questions
Questions and answers
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. ConvertOrino converts your files with code that runs in your own browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, nobody else can see your files, and they are gone as soon as you close the page.
Which Markdown features are supported?
GitHub Flavored Markdown: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, lists, task lists, tables, block quotes, code blocks, links and pictures embedded as data. Pictures that point to the internet are left out, because nothing is downloaded.
Is the Markdown to PDF tool free?
Yes, completely free. There is no sign up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, because your own device does the work. Very large files are limited by the memory of your device. Phones handle files of a few hundred megabytes, computers handle much more.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows?
Yes. It works in any modern browser, including Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox, on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing needs to be installed.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the conversion works without an internet connection, which also proves that your files are not sent anywhere.
