DocForge is a document API focused on one job done well: reliable Markdown-to-PDF with real pagination and clean typography, so you can ship invoices, reports, and statements without bundling a headless browser or a PDF library into your own stack. The free converter below is the same engine the API runs.

How it works

Type or paste Markdown and DocForge converts it to a clean, print-ready PDF: headings, tables, lists, code blocks, and emphasis are rendered with sensible typography and real page breaks. The tool above calls the same POST /pdf endpoint the API exposes, so you can move from prototyping here to one HTTP request in production without any change in output.

Use cases

Generating invoices, receipts, and order confirmations from templates
Turning reports, exports, and dashboards into shareable PDFs
Letting AI agents emit a finished document instead of raw text
Contracts, quotes, and statements straight from your data
On-the-fly documentation and release notes from Markdown sources

FAQ

What Markdown is supported?: Standard Markdown plus tables, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, ordered/unordered lists, and inline emphasis — the same syntax shown in the editor above.
Which page sizes can I use?: A4, Letter, Legal, A3, and A5. Pick a format in the dropdown, or pass "format" in the API request body.
Is it free?: Yes — free to use here, no signup. The DocForge API has a free tier of 50 PDFs/month; paid plans start at $5/mo for 1,000 and scale to 60,000.
Can AI agents call it?: Yes. DocForge is also available as an MCP tool, so assistants can generate a PDF as a single tool call.
