How do I convert a PDF to Markdown?
Drop the PDF into the box above, or paste a link to it. The converter returns Markdown with the headings and tables kept, and you can copy it or download it as a .md file. The browser tool is free and needs no account: 5 files a day, up to 25 pages each. The API allows 25 pages a day with no key and 50 pages a day with a free key. For more, plans run from $0.75 per 1,000 pages on Pro. Starter is $8.90 a month for 10,000 pages, a limited-time launch price.
What you get
- Headings come back as Markdown headings, in the order they appear in the document.
- Tables come back as GitHub-flavoured Markdown tables, one row to a line.
- Text keeps its reading order, so a language model reads it in the sequence a person would.
- A page with almost no extractable text is flagged as scanned. This converter does not run OCR, so those pages come back nearly empty. For English scans, use OCR at pdfmd.dev/ocr.
