PDF to Markdown
Pull the text out of a PDF as plain text or Markdown. Larger headings become #/## headings and bullet glyphs become list items — handy for notes, LLM prompts and docs.

Frequently asked questions
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No — this tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, which also means there are no size limits and no queues.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Only PDFs with a real text layer. Scans are images — run OCR PDF first to add a text layer, then convert to Markdown.
