## What is refile?

**A radically simple way to generate PDFs from [Markdown](https://docs.refile.co/essentials/markdown.md)**. You can use refile anywhere via our API (application programming interface), or using the countless No-Code integration guides we have available.

Some use cases for refile:

* Allow ChatGPT to create PDF reports
* Create PDF reports from your company data with Zapier, Make or n8n
