Frequently Asked Questions
Can it convert scanned PDFs to Markdown?
No, this tool works with text-based PDFs only. Scanned PDFs contain images of text rather than actual text, so they require OCR software first before the text can be extracted and converted to Markdown.
Will the original formatting and structure be preserved?
Basic document structure like paragraphs, headings, lists, and simple tables are preserved. Complex multi-column layouts may be simplified for clean Markdown compatibility. Text content is always extracted accurately from the PDF.
Are multi-page PDFs supported?
Yes, multi-page PDFs are fully supported. All pages are processed and converted to a single Markdown document with page breaks indicated, so you get the complete content in one file.
Is PDF to Markdown free, and do I need to sign up or upload my files?
PDF to Markdown is 100% free to use with no signup, no registration, and no usage limits. All processing happens locally in your browser - your files and data never leave your device, so no upload is required and your privacy is fully protected.
