Markdown to PDF with a cover page

What goes on the cover

• Title: defaults to the first # heading in your Markdown; override it in the Title field.
• Author or organisation and date: free text, printed under the title.
• Logo (studio): PNG, JPEG or SVG under 1 MB, uploaded from your computer and embedded in the PDF. The API cover prints title, author and date; add a logo in the body as a data: URI image if you need one.
• In the studio, a document that starts with a # heading does not repeat that heading on the first body page when the cover is on.

Choosing a theme

• Clean: sans-serif, generous margins, blue headings. Documentation and internal reports.
• Report: serif body, numbered headings, formal cover. Client deliverables.
• Minimal: tight, monochrome, small type. READMEs and specifications.
• Letter: correspondence layout with a letterhead block.

Switch themes and preview again; previews are free.

Steps in the studio

1. Open the studio and paste your Markdown or upload a .md file.
2. Fill in Title (optional), Author and Date; upload a logo if you want one.
3. Keep Cover page ticked, choose a theme and page size, and press Preview PDF.
4. Happy with it? Pay $5 by card for the clean export. No account is created.

Studio previews carry a watermark and are deleted after 24 hours. A clean export is $5 per document, no account needed.

From the API

{"markdown": "## Summary\n\n...\n\n## Findings\n\n...", "title": "Q3 Infrastructure Review", "author": "Platform team", "date": "October 2026", "theme": "report", "cover": true, "toc": true, "header": "Q3 review", "footer": "Internal"}

Because the API does not remove headings from the body, omit the # heading and pass title instead when you do not want the title repeated on page one. Documentation: Markdown to PDF API.
