How to convert pasted HTML or Markdown to PDF

Alongside URL conversion, you can paste HTML or Markdown directly and convert it. This is the mode with no limits whatsoever — pasted content never touches a server, so there's no rate limit and nothing to proxy. Useful for a snippet of generated markup, a Markdown note, or an email you've copied out.

Takes about 1 min

Steps

  1. Open the converter and choose the paste option

    Rather than entering a URL.

  2. Paste your HTML or Markdown

    Either format works; the tool renders it.

  3. Click convert

    Rendering and capture happen entirely in your browser.

  4. Download

    The PDF saves to your device.

Worth knowing

  • Pasted content has no rate limit, because it never reaches our server — only URL fetches are proxied and rate-limited.
  • The output is still image-based, so text won't be selectable.
  • Externally referenced images and stylesheets need to be reachable and CORS-allowed to render.
  • For Markdown notes you'll keep or search later, the Convert: Anything to PDF extension produces a real text PDF instead.

Questions

Are there limits on pasted content?

No. Markdown and HTML paste have no limits at all, because that content doesn't touch our server — the rate limit applies only to URL fetches, which are proxied.
