How it works
PDF to Markdown reads the text layer of each PDF locally in your browser and rebuilds it as Markdown, marking headings and lists where it can. Convert one file or a whole batch at once: each result keeps its original name and downloads as a .md, or all of them together as a .zip. There's no server in the loop and no upload.
When to use this
Use it when you want to paste a document into ChatGPT, Claude, or another AI tool without handing over the original file or spending tokens on a raw PDF. Drop in a stack of reports and get a tidy set of Markdown files in one go. It works on text-based PDFs; scanned pages need OCR first.
Why this tool is different
