Upload a PDF and get back plain-text Markdown — headings, paragraphs and lists rebuilt from the layout, ready to paste into a README, wiki, or notes app.
Choose any standard, non-password-protected PDF file.
Larger text becomes headings, bullets and numbered lines become lists, and everything else becomes paragraphs.
Grab the result straight from the box, or save it as a .md file.
Markdown is the plain-text format behind most documentation sites, note-taking apps and READMEs, but getting there from a PDF report usually means manual retyping. This tool looks at each line's relative font size to guess headings, and treats lines starting with bullet or number markers as list items, rebuilding the document's structure as Markdown entirely in your browser.
It works well for straightforward reports and notes, though very design-heavy PDFs may need some manual cleanup afterward, and tables or images aren't carried over — the output is text-only. Like the other PDF tools here, it reads the text layer already inside the PDF, so a scanned document with no real text underneath won't produce usable output.
Common uses: converting a PDF report into Markdown for a documentation site or wiki, pulling notes out of a PDF into a plain-text note-taking app, or prepping content for a static site generator. If your PDF is mostly tables, PDF to Excel will do a better job of preserving that structure.

No — it reads the text layer already embedded in the PDF, so a PDF that's just a scanned image with no underlying text won't produce useful Markdown.
Not currently — tables and images are skipped, so the output is text-only Markdown. If your PDF is mostly tables, try PDF to Excel instead.
Nowhere on our end — the Markdown is generated in your browser and downloads straight to your device.
