Markdown to PDF,
actually free

Most converters describe themselves as free, and most of them are telling the truth about something narrower than it sounds.

• A free trial — everything works for a few days or a few documents, then it stops
• A free tier — permanently free but deliberately limited, which is where watermarks, page caps and daily quotas live
• Free with an account — no money, but an email address, a password and a marketing list, which for a one-off conversion is a poor trade

The restrictions tend to be invisible until the moment they matter, which is normally the moment you are in a hurry.

• A page cap that silently truncates the document rather than warning you — you find out when page 11 is missing
• A daily conversion quota that resets at midnight in a timezone you cannot see
• A file size limit low enough that a README with a few images exceeds it
• A watermark that only appears in the downloaded file, never in the preview

Nothing, with no account. Being straightforward about the model: this site will carry advertising later, and that is the whole of it. There is no premium tier held back, which is why there is nothing to gain by limiting the free output — the limits other converters impose exist to sell an upgrade, and there is no upgrade here to sell.

No page cap, no daily quota, no watermark, no account, and no restriction on using the PDFs commercially — they are your documents. Uploads are capped at 2 MB of Markdown, which is a practical limit on text rather than a tier, and conversions are rate-limited per address to keep the service up, at a threshold ordinary use does not reach.

The absence of these is the product, so it is worth being specific about what is absent.

• No email address, and no account to create or verify
• No card on file, no trial period and no expiry date
• No watermark, no page cap and no daily conversion quota
• No queue that a paid tier would let you skip
• No storage: the Markdown is sent only when you ask for the PDF, and is discarded once the file is returned
• No restriction on using the PDFs commercially — they are your documents

Being straightforward about it, because "free" on a converter usually means something is being held back. This site will carry advertising. That is the whole model: there is no premium tier waiting behind the free one, which is precisely why there is nothing to gain by limiting the output. The restrictions other converters impose exist to sell an upgrade, and there is no upgrade here to sell. The only limits are the ones that keep the service standing up — 2 MB per document, and a per-address rate limit that ordinary use does not reach.
