PDF to Markdown
Export a PDF as plain Markdown: heading levels, lists, and tables map to Markdown syntax. Drop reports into Obsidian or Notion, build a knowledge base, or feed clean text to an AI tool.
Outputs plain .md that any editor opens
Headings, lists, and tables map to Markdown syntax where possible
Up to 30 MB and 200 pages per PDF, no account needed
What this page does
Upload a PDF and conversion starts automatically. Preview the text structure on the job page, then download the .md file. Scanned PDFs need OCR first.
Why Markdown: lighter than Word, more structured than plain text—the friendliest format for version control, note apps, and large-language-model input.
Questions
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Scans have no text layer, so the result will be incomplete. Run OCR first, then convert the text-based PDF.
Are tables preserved?
Regular tables become Markdown tables. Tables spanning pages or merged cells may need manual cleanup.
