FAQ & Help

Yes, completely. All tools are free to use with no account required, no usage limits, and no hidden fees. We plan to keep the core tools free forever.

No. Every tool on MeetMarkdown runs entirely in your browser. Your markdown never leaves your device — it is never sent to or stored on our servers.

No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no account of any kind. Open a tool and start using it immediately.

Once the page has loaded, most tools (Editor, Formatter, Table Formatter, Word Count, Diff, HTML↔MD) work entirely client-side and will continue to work if you lose internet. The URL to Markdown tool requires a network connection to fetch the target page.

We use GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) as the base, which includes tables, strikethrough, task lists, and fenced code blocks. Mermaid diagram blocks are also supported in the Live Editor and PDF tool.

Wrap your diagram code in a fenced code block with the language set to mermaid:

```mermaid
flowchart TD
  A[Start] --> B[End]
```

Supported diagram types include flowchart, sequence, class, state, ER, Gantt, pie, and more.

Press ⌘⇧F (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+F (Windows/Linux) in the editor. You can also click the Format button in the toolbar.

Yes. Pressing Tab in the editor inserts two spaces. This makes it easy to write nested lists and indented code without the browser switching focus.

Not currently — the content lives in memory for the duration of your session. Use the Download button to save your work as a .md file. Persistent local save (localStorage) is planned for a future update.

Click "Print / Save as PDF". Your browser's native print dialog will open — select "Save as PDF" (or "Microsoft Print to PDF" on Windows) as the destination. This gives you full control over page size, margins, and orientation.

Print rendering varies slightly between browsers. Chrome and Edge generally produce the best results. Try enabling "Background graphics" in the print dialog for correct code block colors.

Yes — in the browser print dialog you can set custom margins (none, minimum, default, or custom values). We recommend "Minimum" or "Custom" for a cleaner result.

Some websites block server-side requests (Cloudflare protection, paywalls, login walls, or restrictive CORS/bot policies). There is no way to bypass these protections — only publicly accessible pages can be fetched.

We automatically strip common boilerplate elements (nav, header, footer, aside, script, style). For heavily structured or non-standard pages some noise may remain. You can clean it up manually in the output box.

It runs your markdown through Prettier, which normalises heading styles, wraps long lines at 80 characters, ensures consistent list markers, removes trailing whitespace, and aligns table columns.

No — Prettier only changes whitespace and formatting. Your actual content (words, headings, links) is never modified.

Yes — use the dedicated Table Formatter tool. It also includes a blank-table generator so you can build tables from scratch.

Almost nothing. See our Privacy Policy for the full details. The short version: we collect standard server access logs (via Vercel) and store your theme preference in localStorage. We do not use analytics or tracking cookies.

Yes. Since all processing happens locally in your browser and nothing is transmitted to our servers, it is safe to use with sensitive content. The only exception is the URL to Markdown tool, which makes a server-side request to fetch the target URL.
