What this tool does
Upload a digital PDF (max 10MB) with selectable text and click Convert to Markdown. We extract text and use heuristics to detect headings (# ## ###), lists (- *), and tables (|). The output is best-effort-complex layouts may need manual editing. We do not include images. Suited for articles, documentation, or reports. Your file is deleted immediately after processing. Need plain text instead? Use PDF to Plain Text. For Word output, try PDF to Word.
Best for documents with headings and lists. Complex layouts may need cleanup in your editor.

When to use this vs other tools
- When you need Markdown for docs, READMEs, or developer workflows
- When converting articles or documentation from PDF to editable text format
- When you want structured text (headings, lists, tables) without images
- When the target is GitHub, static site generators, or Markdown editors
- When you have digital PDFs (not scanned) with clear text structure
Common problems and fixes
No images in output
Images in the PDF are not included. Only text is converted to Markdown.
Scanned PDF not working
This tool requires digital PDFs with embedded text. Use Image to Text (OCR) for scanned documents.
Layout or tables wrong
Conversion is approximate. Proofread and fix headings, lists, and tables manually.

Real-world use case
Great for converting documentation PDFs into editable Markdown for blogs, wikis, and knowledge bases.
Manual vs tool
Manual reformatting into Markdown is slower, especially for long documents.
Practical tips
- Review heading levels and list nesting first.
- Re-check table formatting in Markdown preview.
Limitations
Markdown output is heuristic and may need cleanup for complex source layouts.
Edge cases
- Complex tables and nested layouts may need hand-fixes.
- Scanned PDFs need OCR before good Markdown output.
