Questions
Is it free to convert PDF to Markdown?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up and no watermark. The free plan covers up to 50 tasks a day; Pro removes every limit.
Do you upload my files?
No. The tool runs inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device, and it still works with Wi-Fi turned off.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and Linux.
Why convert a PDF to Markdown for AI tools?
Markdown keeps the structure (headings, lists, tables) in plain text, which AI chat tools read better than a raw copy-paste from a PDF. And converting here keeps the PDF on your device.
Are images included?
No. Only text, headings, lists and tables are converted. For a scanned PDF, run OCR PDF first.
