Automatic extraction
Text is extracted and headings are identified by font size, generating the # and ## hierarchy of Markdown.

Use the Markdown in documentation, wikis, READMEs, or any editor that supports the format.
Converting a PDF to Markdown is useful when you need to reuse a document's text in technical documentation, a README, a wiki, or any Markdown-based system, without having to manually copy and reformat everything.
The tool identifies headings automatically by comparing each text block's font size against the document's predominant size, larger blocks become headings (# and ##), the rest becomes paragraphs.
Since it's an automatic extraction, results are better on PDFs with structured text (reports, articles, documentation) than on PDFs with complex multi-column layouts, dense tables, or scanned as images. The resulting .md file opens cleanly in editors like Obsidian, VS Code, or Typora, ready to paste into a Git repository or keep editing without the PDF's original visual markup.
It works best on structured text PDFs. Complex tables, multi-column layouts, and scanned (image) PDFs may need manual adjustment after conversion.
Automatically, by font size: text larger than the document's body text is converted into headings (#, ##), proportional to the size.
No. The tool extracts real text from the PDF, it doesn't perform text recognition on images (OCR). A scanned PDF with no text layer won't produce useful Markdown.
Yes. Select as many PDF files as you need, up to 20 per batch. The result comes in a ZIP with one .md per file.
