Complete guide to converting PDF files to Markdown format
Click 'Select PDF' or drag and drop your PDF file into the upload area. Maximum file size is 10MB.
Click the 'Convert to Markdown' button and wait for the conversion to complete. This usually takes a few seconds.
Once converted, you can copy the Markdown text or download it as a .md file to your computer.
PDFs with selectable text work best. Scanned images or image-based PDFs may not convert properly.
PDFs with simple, single-column layouts produce better Markdown output than complex multi-column designs.
Keep your PDF files under 10MB for optimal performance. Larger files may cause browser slowdown.
Always review the converted Markdown and make necessary edits, as automatic conversion may not be 100% perfect.
If your file isn't uploading, it might be too large or not a valid PDF.
Solution: Ensure your file is a PDF and under 10MB. Try using a different PDF file.
Large or complex PDFs may take longer to process.
Solution: Wait a bit longer, or try using a smaller/simpler PDF file.
Some PDFs don't convert well due to their structure or formatting.
Solution: Try a different PDF with simpler layout, or manually edit the Markdown output.
