PDF to Markdown

Convert PDF to Markdown.

Feeding a document to an LLM, a wiki or a static site? This converter keeps the structure: headings become # headings, lists stay lists, links stay links, and tables come out as GitHub-flavored pipes. Repeated page headers and footers are stripped automatically. Preview the result, copy it, or download the .md — your file never leaves your device.

What you get

  • Converts a PDF into clean Markdown — headings, lists, links and tables become #, - and | syntax you can drop into docs, wikis or a static site.
  • Perfect for moving report or spec content into GitHub, Notion or Obsidian without hand-retyping the structure.
  • Keeps the document's hierarchy (headings and lists) rather than flattening everything to one blob of text.
  • Runs in your browser — your content is never uploaded.

Questions people ask

Why Markdown instead of plain text?

Markdown preserves structure — headings, bullet lists, links and tables — as lightweight symbols, so the document stays organised and renders nicely in tools like GitHub and Notion. Plain text throws that structure away.

Will tables convert?

Detected tables are written as Markdown pipe tables. Very complex tables may need a small manual fix, but simple ones transfer cleanly.

Where can I paste the result?

Anywhere Markdown is supported — GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Obsidian, static-site generators and most documentation systems.
