100% Private & Client-Side

Your markdown notes, contracts, and documentation are never uploaded to any server. All parsing, rendering, and PDF generation happen directly inside your browser.

Smart Page Break Engine

Control exactly where pages split using <!-- pagebreak -->. Slicing prevents orphan headings and splits large tables cleanly.

Crisp Vector & Native Print

Export true scalable vector PDFs using the native browser print engine with injected @page rules, or download directly via jsPDF.

Publication Themes

Choose from Modern Clean, Academic Serif, Technical Docs, and Minimalist themes with customized margins, line heights, font sizes, and syntax highlighting.

<!-- Syntax-highlighted code block: -->

Frequently asked questions

Are my documents uploaded or stored on any server?

No. Toolou operates 100% inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas, modern DOM APIs, and jsPDF. Your documents, notes, internal specs, and confidential information are never sent across the network.

How do I force a page break between sections?

Simply insert <!-- pagebreak --> anywhere in your Markdown. You can also click the Scissors icon in the toolbar or press the shortcut button to insert it automatically.

What is the difference between "Print / Vector PDF" and "Download PDF"?

Print / Vector PDF harnesses your browser's native print rendering engine, providing true infinite-resolution vector typography and hyperlinks. Download PDF creates a standalone PDF file directly inside JavaScript using jsPDF with 300 DPI Retina image capture and vector text headers/footers.

Can I suppress headers and footers on the cover page?

Yes. Click the "Header & Footer" button on the toolbar and toggle "Suppress on First Page". This ensures your title/cover page remains clean while running headers and numbering appear starting on page 2.
