Text layer

Fast for text-based PDFs

The converter reads the document’s existing text layer, keeps a practical reading order, and rebuilds headings, lists, and simple tables as Markdown.

Scanned pages

Local help for scanned pages

Pages without usable text are handled separately. Clear English scans can be recognized locally, while text pages stay on the faster extraction path.

PDF to Markdown questions

How do I convert a PDF to Markdown?

Choose a PDF, keep this tab open while it is processed, then edit, copy, or download the Markdown result.

Does my PDF leave my device?

The conversion runs in your browser. Your PDF content and Markdown result are not sent to our application servers.

Can it convert scanned PDFs?

Yes. Clear English scanned pages can be read with local text recognition. The first scanned page may take longer while browser resources are prepared.

Which PDF layouts work best?

Text PDFs, common two-column documents, lists, and simple tables work best. Complex tables, handwriting, equations, and unusual layouts may need manual editing.

What should I do with a large PDF?

Use the optional page range to process the document in smaller sections. This reduces memory use and makes recovery easier on mobile devices.

Is the Markdown editable?

Yes. You can edit the result in the browser, switch to a rendered preview, then copy it or download a .md file.
