PDF to Markdown Converter

Turn a text-based PDF into editable Markdown with inferred headings, lists, paragraphs, and page breaks.

Convert PDF to Markdown

One text-based PDF up to 25 MB and 200 pages.

PDF processing stays in this browser. Image-only scans require OCR and are not converted by this tool.

What can PDF to Markdown preserve?

PDF stores positioned text rather than semantic headings and paragraphs. This tool uses font size, line spacing, and bullet patterns to infer a useful Markdown structure, then lets you edit the result. Complex columns, tables, equations, and scanned pages still need manual review.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Markdown conversion exact?

No PDF-to-Markdown conversion can recover semantics that were not stored in the PDF. Heading and list detection are useful heuristics, so review technical, multi-column, and heavily designed documents.

Does this tool convert images or tables?

It extracts and structures selectable text. It does not export embedded images, recreate tables, or run OCR on page images.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The PDF is parsed locally with PDF.js in your browser.
