| Transparency support | N/A (text format) | Partial (embedded images/vector elements can use transparency) |

FAQ
- Is my content sent to a server?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, and nothing you paste is sent anywhere.
- Does converting Markdown to PDF reduce quality?
- No. This is a text conversion, so nothing is compressed. The content is restructured into the new format exactly.
- Is there a size limit?
- Only your device's memory, since you paste the content directly. There's no account and no usage limit.
- What's the difference between Markdown and PDF?
- Markdown and PDF (Portable Document Format) store data differently. Markdown: none (plain text). PDF: N/A (container; compression depends on embedded content). PDF is a fixed-layout document format that renders identically regardless of the viewer's OS, fonts, or software — the standard for anything meant to look the same everywhere.
