What this page does
Upload a PDF and conversion starts automatically. Preview the text structure on the job page, then download the .md file. Scanned PDFs need OCR first.
Why Markdown: lighter than Word, more structured than plain text—the friendliest format for version control, note apps, and large-language-model input.
Questions
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Scans have no text layer, so the result will be incomplete. Run OCR first, then convert the text-based PDF.
Are tables preserved?
Regular tables become Markdown tables. Tables spanning pages or merged cells may need manual cleanup.
