Convert PDF

PDF to Markdown

Convert a PDF’s text to Markdown — headings, lists, and paragraphs inferred from the layout.

PDF file

Choose a file to convert. It's processed locally — never uploaded. Tip: add several files to convert them all at once.

{ } How it works

PDF to Markdown works on the file you upload. Adjust the options, then select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.

Inputs

  • PDF file — upload a file (.pdf); it is read locally in your browser
  • Pages (blank = all, e.g. 1-3,5) — a value

Output

MD text — copy or download it from the Output panel.

{ } Common uses

  • Turn a PDF into Markdown for a wiki, README, or docs site.
  • Get editable structured text out of a report or article.
  • Feed clean Markdown into a notes app or static-site generator.

{ } Limitations

  • Headings, lists, and paragraphs are inferred from font sizes and spacing — the structure is a best guess, not a guarantee.
  • Tables, columns, and images are not reconstructed; you get a linear Markdown document.
  • It needs real embedded text. A scan returns little or nothing until you have run OCR PDF over it.

{ } FAQ

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.

Can I process more than one file at once?

Yes — add several files and they’re all processed and downloaded together as a ZIP.

Is this tool free?

Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.

How are headings detected?

Lines rendered in a noticeably larger font than the body text become Markdown headings (#, ##, ###).

Why are multiple pages separated by ---?

Each page is converted independently and joined with a Markdown horizontal rule so you can see the page boundaries.
