How to Use
- Upload your.py Python source file using the file selector or drag-and-drop area.
- The tool reads your Python code and prepares it for PDF rendering — preserving indentation, line breaks, and code structure.
- Click the Convert button to generate your PDF from the Python source file.
- Download the resulting PDF — it contains your code in a readable, fixed-width format suitable for printing, sharing, or archiving.
Tips Before You Convert
- For best output, make sure your Python (.py) file uses consistent indentation — mixed tabs and spaces can cause alignment issues in the rendered PDF, and the output will reflect exactly what the source file contains.
- The PDF output preserves your code as plain formatted text. If your file is a single script under a few hundred lines, the conversion produces a clean, single-document PDF with all lines intact. Very large files with thousands of lines will produce multi-page PDFs, which may be harder to navigate without a table of contents.
- If your Python (.py) file contains non-ASCII characters or special Unicode symbols in comments or strings, some characters may not render correctly in the PDF output depending on the font used. If you notice missing or replaced characters, simplify the affected text in your source file before converting.
Real-World Scenarios
- Code review: export a source file to PDF so reviewers can comment on line structure, naming, and logic without editing the original file.
- Classroom submissions: turn a script into a readable PDF for assignments where instructors need to inspect syntax, indentation, and comments.
- Documentation: attach a PDF copy of code examples to technical notes, handover files, or project archives.
- Printing and archiving: preserve a stable snapshot of a script before refactoring, release review, or long-term storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are uploaded files handled?
Uploaded files are used only for processing and are automatically deleted after 1 hour. Avoid uploading files containing passwords, API keys, private credentials, or sensitive personal data.
What does the output PDF look like?
The output is a standard PDF containing your Python code in a monospaced, fixed-width font that preserves indentation and line structure. It is formatted for readability, not for execution — the PDF cannot be run as code.
Is there a file size or line count limit?
Very large.py files with thousands of lines will convert, but the output will span many pages. Extremely large files may take longer to process or produce oversized PDFs. For best results, convert individual script files rather than concatenated codebases.
Will the PDF preserve my code's indentation and formatting exactly?
Yes, indentation and line breaks are preserved as they appear in the source file. However, if your file mixes tabs and spaces inconsistently, the PDF may show alignment that differs from your code editor's display, since tab width rendering can vary.
Why do some characters in my code appear wrong or missing in the PDF?
Non-ASCII characters — such as Unicode symbols, emoji, or characters from non-Latin scripts used in comments or string literals — may not render correctly if the PDF font does not support them. If you see boxes or missing characters, replace those characters in your Python (.py) file with ASCII equivalents before converting.
What happens to my uploaded Python (.py) file after conversion?
Your Python (.py) file is used only to generate the PDF and is automatically deleted after 1 hour. Do not upload.py files containing sensitive credentials, API keys, or private logic if you have concerns about file handling — treat any browser-based tool with the same caution you would apply to any online service.
