Frequently asked questions

What is Markdown and why convert a PDF to it?

Markdown is a lightweight plain-text format used for READMEs, wikis, docs sites, and notes. Converting a PDF to Markdown lets you reuse the text in tools like GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, or static-site generators without retyping it.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Markdown?

This tool works on PDFs that contain real, selectable text. Scanned or image-only PDFs have no extractable text, so they can't be converted to Markdown here.

Will tables and formatting be preserved?

Paragraphs, lists, and simple tables convert well, and tables come out as real Markdown tables. Headings arrive as plain lines, because a PDF doesn't label them as headings, so add the # marks yourself. Complex layouts may be simplified; you can fine-tune the result in any text editor.

Is PDF to Markdown really free?

Yes — PDF to Markdown is 100% free. There's no account to create, no subscription, no trial, and no daily limit. Convert as many files as you like.

Are my files safe and private?

Your files are processed in memory and never stored on our servers. Any temporary files are deleted automatically right after processing finishes.
