Pandoc GUI
What it is
A modern desktop interface for Pandoc, for people who convert documents and would rather not memorise its options.
What it does
Choose input and output formats, a PDF engine and styling options, and convert, singly or in batches, with presets for jobs you repeat.
Features
- Many formats: Markdown, RST, LaTeX, DOCX, HTML, Org, EPUB, ODT, RTF to PDF, DOCX, HTML, EPUB, ODT, LaTeX, PPTX and more
- PDF engines: Tectonic (zero-config), LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX, pdfLaTeX; features auto-disable when a required tool is missing
- Page-number formats, dark-mode output for PDF, HTML and EPUB
- Saved presets and six interface themes
Capabilities
Documentation and writing workflows: Markdown to PDF/DOCX/EPUB, DOCX to Markdown, themed screen-reading PDFs.
Compatibility
- macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows (installer/MSI), Linux (AppImage, deb, rpm)
- Pandoc is required (the README links the installer, `brew install pandoc`); PDF output needs a PDF engine, several of which the app can manage
Availability
Free, MIT licensed. Version 2.1.1, 2026-01-09, on GitHub Releases.
