About PDF to Markdown

PDF to Markdown pulls headings, paragraphs, lists, code, and images out of a document and writes them back as plain Markdown.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

1.Pick a PDF with selectable text and a straightforward reading order.
2.Convert, then look at the headings, lists, paragraphs, code blocks, and image references.
3.Preview the Markdown and fix the structure, stray line breaks, tables, and alt text.

Images are pulled out as separate files, with Markdown references pointing back at them.
Headings and lists are inferred for structure rather than to match the page exactly.

Columns, footnotes, equations, complex tables, and floating callouts confuse the reading order.
Markdown cannot express every fixed-layout feature without dropping into HTML or images.

Why are there line breaks in the middle of paragraphs?

The PDF stores text by position, so the end of a visual line can look like the end of a paragraph. It needs a quick pass by hand.

Do complex tables survive?

Simple ones usually do. Merged cells and multi-line rows generally need HTML or rebuilding by hand.
