PDF to Markdown

Convert PDF to Markdown format. Right in your browser. 100% free, privacy protected.

PDF to Markdown converts a PDF into Markdown, keeping structural elements — headings, lists, emphasis, paragraph breaks — rather than flattening everything to plain text. That makes it a much better starting point when the content is heading for a documentation site, a wiki, a static site generator or a note-taking app, since you are not left rebuilding the structure by hand. Headings are inferred from font sizes and weights in the source document. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the heading detection?

It infers structure from font size and weight, which works well on documents with consistent styling and less well on heavily designed layouts. Expect to tidy up a little afterwards.

Are images extracted too?

The Markdown output covers text and structure. To pull the pictures out of the document, use Extract Images.

Do tables convert?

Simple grid-like tables are usually recognised. Complex tables with merged cells rarely survive cleanly in any PDF conversion and generally need manual work.

Does it work on scans?

Not directly — there is no text to read. Run OCR first, then convert.
