About PDF to Markdown
PDFs preserve visual layout, but the text inside them is hard to edit, quote, or reuse. Converting a PDF to Markdown gives you a plain-text version with headings, lists, and paragraphs formatted for editors, wikis, and static site generators.
This tool extracts the text structure from each PDF directly in your browser. It produces Markdown with headings, paragraphs, lists, code blocks, and links when the original layout makes them clear enough to identify. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Output is a single .md file per PDF. Complex layouts, tables, and embedded images may not translate perfectly. We do not add watermarks or impose usage limits.
