Frequently Asked Questions

Are images from my README included?

Yes! Images with absolute URLs (like https://...) are included in the PDF. Relative image paths may not render correctly — we recommend using full URLs for images in your README.

Can I convert other Markdown files from my repo?

Absolutely. CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, documentation files in /docs — any .md file works perfectly.

Can I customize the PDF styling?

The PDF uses a professional, readable layout optimized for documentation. Custom styling options may be added in future updates.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes, files up to 5MB are supported. This covers virtually all README files and documentation.
