Native rendering engine. No browser. No Chromium. No DOM. Deterministic, headless, fast.

Get Started

API Reference

🖥️

Truly Headless

Runs anywhere Node.js (≥ 18) runs — servers, CI, edge functions. No browser or Puppeteer required.

📐

Deterministic Layout

Same Markdown always produces pixel-identical output across machines and runs.

⚡

Fast at Scale

Batch-render hundreds of pages per second. Lightweight enough to embed in any service.

📄

Pagination Built-in

Automatically paginates content into fixed-size pages, or outputs everything in a single image.

🖼️

Image Support

Fetch and render remote images (HTTP/HTTPS) and local files in block-level image nodes.

🔤

CommonMark + GFM

Full support for standard Markdown plus GitHub Flavored extensions — tables, task lists, strikethrough.

Quick Start

bash

npm install marknative

import { renderMarkdown } from 'marknative'
import { writeFileSync } from 'node:fs'

const pages = await renderMarkdown(`
# Hello, marknative

Produces **paginated PNG pages** without a browser.
`)

for (const [i, page] of pages.entries()) {
  writeFileSync(`page-${i + 1}.png`, page.data)
}
