Frequently asked questions

Can I convert a README.md file to PDF?: Yes. Paste the contents of your README.md into the editor, check the live preview, and click Download PDF. FileFlip supports all standard Markdown elements including headings, bold, italic, lists, links, tables and code blocks. GitHub-flavored Markdown extras like task lists are also supported.
Does the PDF preserve my Markdown formatting?: Yes. Headings render at the correct sizes, bold and italic text are preserved, code blocks use a monospace font with background highlight, and bullet lists are properly indented. The PDF output matches the live preview shown on screen.
Can I convert Markdown to PDF on my phone?: Yes. The tool works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android. The editor and preview panels stack vertically on small screens for a comfortable mobile experience. You can paste Markdown from your clipboard or type directly.
What Markdown syntax is supported?: FileFlip supports CommonMark standard Markdown: headings (H1-H6), bold, italic, strikethrough, unordered and ordered lists, links, images, blockquotes, inline code, fenced code blocks, horizontal rules, and tables. Extended GitHub Flavored Markdown elements are also supported.
Can I choose the PDF page size?: Yes. You can select A4 (standard in Europe) or Letter (standard in North America) before downloading. You can also adjust margins between Normal, Wide, and Narrow to control how much content fits on each page.
Is my Markdown content sent to a server?: No. All processing happens in your browser. Your Markdown text is never transmitted to any server. This makes FileFlip safe to use with confidential documents, internal documentation, and private notes.
Can I convert multiple Markdown files to PDF?: Currently the tool processes one Markdown document at a time. For multiple files, simply paste each document, download the PDF, then move to the next. Each conversion takes only a few seconds.
How is this different from printing a webpage to PDF?: Browser print-to-PDF often includes browser UI elements, headers and footers, and inconsistent margins. FileFlip generates a clean PDF with controlled typography, proper margins, and consistent formatting across all pages — without any browser chrome or unwanted elements.
