FAQ

Which PDF formats are supported?

Common text-based PDFs (exported from Word, web pages, etc.) are supported. Scanned PDFs (image-only) cannot be extracted.

Are tables and lists preserved?

Yes. The tool automatically recognizes tables and converts them to Markdown table syntax; ordered and unordered lists keep their original hierarchy.

Is batch conversion supported?

Yes. Multiple files can be uploaded in batch; each is independently converted to Markdown and can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP.

Is the processing secure? Will my files leak?

What is PDF to Markdown?

PDF to Markdown converts a PDF document into the lightweight Markdown markup language for easier re-editing in editors, blogs, and knowledge bases. This tool converts locally in your browser, so no upload is needed.

How do I use this tool?

First upload a PDF, click "Start Process", then download the Markdown when done. The whole process needs no registration and runs in your browser.

How fast is the conversion?

Processing is fully local; speed mainly depends on PDF page count and device performance. A typical document finishes in a few to a dozen seconds.

How large a file is supported?

A single file can be up to 50MB. Because conversion is local, very large files are best handled in batches for faster speed.

Can code blocks be recognized?

Yes. The tool tries to recognize code blocks in the document and convert them to Markdown code syntax, keeping line breaks and indentation for easy technical-doc migration.

Is the converted content accurate?

For text-based PDFs, the fidelity of headings, paragraphs, and tables is high; complex mixed layouts or special fonts may shift slightly, so a quick proofread is recommended.

We provide free daily usage so everyday conversion costs nothing; higher limits are unlocked with a membership.

Can I use it on a phone?
