Exports that look
hand-set.
Turn a plain .md file into a PDF, a Word document, HTML, or a Markdown bundle — with smart page breaks, running headers, a table of contents, and math that stays real. A live preview shows the exact file before you save it.
Four formats,
one clean source
The same document renders faithfully everywhere it goes — no reformatting, no cleanup pass afterward.
A real vector engine built on react-pdf — crisp text, selectable content, and typography that looks hand-set, not printed from a browser.
Word (.docx)
A fully native document — real paragraphs, tables, images, and styles that open and edit cleanly in Microsoft Word and Pages.
HTML
A single self-contained file with inline styles, ready to publish or hand off. No external assets to chase down.
Markdown bundle
Export one file or your whole vault as a .zip that preserves folder structure and pulls in the assets your notes reference.
Smart page breaks
Keep-with-next logic never splits a block mid-flow, and you can insert manual breaks above any heading from the export sidebar.
Headers & footers
Running headers and footers with live page numbers, laid out so they can never overlap the body even at tight margins.
Table of contents
Generate a linked table of contents from your headings — a native, auto-updating field in Word and clickable links in PDF.
Highlighted code
Code blocks keep their syntax highlighting across four themes, all the way through to the exported PDF, Word, and HTML.
Native math
Equations export as sharp images in PDF and HTML, and as native, editable OMML in Word — not a flattened screenshot.
Nothing splits
where it shouldn’t
- Keep-with-next grouping
- Atomic blocks are never split
- Insert manual breaks by heading
From note to file
in four steps
A dedicated export window with a live, true-to-file preview — no round-trips through a browser print dialog.
Open export
Send the current document to a dedicated, frameless export window — including any unsaved edits, handed over live.
Pick a format
Choose PDF, Word, HTML, or a Markdown bundle. The live preview re-renders the actual file you’re about to save.
Tune the layout
Set margins and page size, toggle headers, footers, and the table of contents, and drop in manual page breaks.
Save it
Write the file wherever you like. What you saw in the preview is exactly what lands on disk.
Free vs Pro
Good to know
What formats can I export to?
PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), self-contained HTML, and a Markdown bundle (.zip) — either a single document or your entire vault with its referenced assets and folder structure preserved.
Is the exported math real and editable?
In Word, yes — equations export as native OMML you can click into and edit. In PDF and HTML they’re rendered as sharp vector-derived images, matched to how they look in the editor, rather than blurry screenshots.
Does my code stay highlighted?
Yes. Fenced code blocks carry their syntax highlighting through export in all formats, across four built-in themes, with a matching code background — no plain monospace dump.
How accurate is the preview?
It’s the real thing. The preview rasterizes the actual generated PDF or renders the actual Word bytes, so it’s WYSIWYG — the page breaks, headers, and spacing you see are the ones you get.
