PDF to Markdown

About PDF to Markdown Converter

This tool converts PDF documents to Markdown format. It extracts text content and automatically formats it with Markdown syntax including headings, lists, and paragraphs. All processing happens in your browser for complete privacy.

How does the conversion work?

The converter extracts text from each PDF page and analyzes font sizes and formatting to detect headings, bullet points, numbered lists, and paragraph structure. It then converts this into properly formatted Markdown syntax.

What Markdown elements are detected?

The converter can detect headings (based on font size), bullet points, numbered lists, and paragraph breaks. It preserves the logical structure of your document as much as possible.

Can I convert specific pages only?

Yes! You can choose to convert all pages or specify particular pages using page numbers (e.g., '1, 3, 5') or ranges (e.g., '1-5, 10-15').

What about images in the PDF?

Currently, this tool extracts text content only. Images embedded in the PDF are not included in the Markdown output. For image-based PDFs (scanned documents), you may need OCR software first.

Will the formatting be perfect?

The converter does its best to detect and preserve document structure, but complex layouts may require manual adjustments. Simple documents with clear headings and lists convert most accurately.

Is there a file size limit?

The maximum file size is 50MB. This ensures smooth performance in your browser. For larger files, consider splitting the PDF first.

Is my PDF file secure?

Absolutely! All conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF file is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Can I edit the output?

The Markdown output is provided in a text area that you can copy or download. You can then edit it in any text editor or Markdown editor of your choice.
