Convert PDF nowWhat to expect from the conversion
The converter tries to preserve reading order, headings, lists, and tables when the PDF structure allows it.
Scanned PDFs made of page images may need OCR. Complex layouts, columns, and tables may need manual correction.
Example
A PDF titled “Project plan” with three sections may become Markdown headings and paragraphs. Check reading order carefully when the source uses two columns.
Review tips
- Start with a PDF where you can select text; this shows whether it contains extractable text or only page images.
- Compare headings, bullets, and tables with the source before reusing the output.
How to convert
- Choose a PDF file from your device.
- Start the conversion and review the Markdown preview.
- Edit the Markdown if needed, then copy it or download the .md file.
You can convert up to 10 files at a time. Each file can be up to 20 MB, with a 40 MB total limit.
Frequently asked question
A common question
Why can a scanned PDF produce little or no text? If each page is an image, optical character recognition (OCR) is needed. This tool does not add OCR, so PDFs with selectable text work best.
