Here are 4 free Markdown to PDF converter software for Windows. You can view your Markdown (MD format) file and export that file as PDF document to your PC. These software also help you edit Markdown files. So, you don’t need to use some other software especially to edit Markdown files.
Apart from converting Markdown to PDF, some of these software support DOCX, EPUB, HTML, and other formats for conversion. A few unique features are also available in these Markdown to PDF converter software. For example, you can use auto save feature while editing Markdown file, enable word count, preview output in real-time while editing Markdown file, etc.
Let’s see the first free Markdown to PDF converter software present in this list.
Typora
Typora is a great competitor to other Markdown to PDF converter software in this list. Exporting a Markdown file to PDF is definitely possible here. But, it supports many other formats for Markdown conversion that make it a good alternative to other software present in this list. It lets you convert Markdown to LaTeX, DOCX, OPML, TXT, RTF, EPUB, and other formats. So, if you need a software that supports Markdown to PDF and other format conversions, then this is simply a very good option.
Apart from MD to PDF and other format conversion support, it lets you view as well as edit Markdown file. However, it doesn’t let you preview the output, which is supported in other software mentioned here.
Some other unique features like different themes, focus mode (to blur rest of the content and show the current line in normal mode), add image, hyperlink, etc., make it a very useful Markdown software.

Markdown Edit
Markdown Edit is one of my favorite Markdown to PDF converter software in this list. I like its interface where it lets you create a new Markdown file, edit a saved Markdown file, preview output side by side in real-time, and save the Markdown as PDF file. You can also save Markdown file in the same format after editing.
Apart from Markdown to PDF conversion, it supports Markdown to DOCX and Markdown to HTML conversion. Some other features like word wrap, word count, line numbers, auto save, sync scrolling to view Markdown file content and its output, highlight current line, etc., are also available in this software.

MDCharm
MDCharm has also easily managed its place in this free Markdown to PDF converter list. It supports feature to add multiple Markdown files on its interface that makes it special than other software. Thus, once you have added different Markdown files in separate tabs on its interface, you can export all of those files as PDF files, one after another. You can also convert Markdown to ODT and HTML format file.
Its interface reminds me of Notepad++ interface. When Markdown files are added to its interface, you can view them and also preview output of any Markdown file side by side. Markdown editing is also supported in this software. So, you can make necessary changes in Markdown file (if needed) and then save your Markdown file as PDF file.
Other features like take print of Markdown file, show/hide output preview, save Markdown in the original format, etc., also available that you can use.
CuteMarkEd
CuteMarkEd is also a good software that lets you convert Markdown to PDF format file. It also comes with Markdown viewer, editor, and converter features. One of its features that caught my attention is its navigation pane. This makes adding a Markdown file on its interface very easy. You don’t have to use Open menu and Browse for a Markdown file in a separate window. Just use its navigation pane and select the Markdown file.
It shows Markdown file content and output preview within its interface side by side. You can first edit the Markdown file (if needed) and then export it as PDF format using File menu.
The Conclusion:
These are best picked Markdown to PDF converter software for Windows. All are really good and have many interesting features. Still, based on the supported formats, Typora is the best software in this list. Apart from Markdown to PDF, it supports DOCX, EPUB, LaTeX, and other formats.
