Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Markdownary after getting frustrated with a very specific problem: I kept pasting long ChatGPT/Claude answers into Markdown-to-PDF tools, and the output was always... rough. Long code lines spilling off the page, tables breaking mid-page, fonts going missing.
Turns out most "Markdown to PDF" tools work by opening a headless browser (like Puppeteer) and literally printing the rendered webpage — which is why they inherit all of a browser's print-layout quirks.
Markdownary takes a different path: it converts your Markdown into Typst (a modern typesetting language built for real print output) and compiles that to a real vector PDF. No screenshot, no headless browser step for the final render.
A few other things I cared about while building this:
🔒 Privacy-first — your content is processed on the fly and never stored on the server
📋 One-click "copy as rich text" — paste directly into email/Slack/WeChat, formatted, no more raw # and ** symbols
🌙 Live preview with 5 built-in themes + dark mode
🌍 Fully bilingual (EN/中文), free, no sign-up
Would love your feedback — especially if you regularly export AI chat answers or long docs to PDF. What's broken/missing for your workflow? 🙏
