PDF to Markdown — frequently asked questions
Will headings, tables, and lists come out correctly?+
The tool infers structure from formatting cues — larger text becomes headings, aligned columns become table cells, and lines starting with bullets or numbers become lists. It works well on cleanly formatted documents; PDFs with unusual layouts may need light manual cleanup afterward.
Does this work on scanned PDFs?+
Only if the PDF has a selectable text layer. Purely scanned images with no OCR applied have no text to extract — run OCR PDF first.
Are links preserved?+
Yes — clickable links in the original PDF are carried over as Markdown links.
Do you upload my files to a server?+
No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The AI tools that used to send extracted text to a server are currently disabled.
Is there a file size limit?+
There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
