How to convert PDF to Markdown

  1. Choose pages

Before you save

  • Use a PDF up to 100 MB and 200 pages, within the displayed extraction and text limits. Password-protected files are refused.
  • Structure is inferred from existing PDF text and geometry. Columns, equations, tables and reading order can need correction. Scans require OCR first.
  • Markdown is an editable text export. It does not preserve the original page layout, images, forms or PDF accessibility structures.

Questions about Markdown export

Does this use a cloud AI service?

No. Structure is inferred locally from PDF text and layout. Review the editable preview for mistakes.

Can I convert a scanned document?

Use Searchable PDF first, then review the recognised text and reading order before exporting.
