How It Works
Choose the text-based PDF you want to convert.
The tool extracts text and estimates headings by text size.
Save the .md file for use in your notes, wiki, or site.
Honest Limits
Headings are guessed based on relative text size, not real document structure. Tables, images, and multi-column layouts aren't recreated. It works best on simple, mostly-text PDFs.
FAQ
Lines with noticeably larger text than the document average are converted into Markdown headings. This is an estimate, not a true structural analysis.
No. This tool extracts text only. Tables, images, and complex layouts are not recreated in the Markdown output.
This usually means the PDF is a scanned image with no real text layer to extract.
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored.
