Frequently asked questions
How does PDF to Markdown work?
The tool reads the text of each page with its position, size and font. Bigger text becomes headings, bold and italic runs keep their style, bullets and numbers become lists, and rows of aligned columns become Markdown tables.
What does "For LLMs" do?
It removes lines that repeat near the top or bottom of the pages (running headers, footers, page numbers), so a chatbot or search index does not read them over and over.
Can it convert a scanned PDF?
No. A scan is a picture without a text layer, and this tool does not do OCR. You will see a notice when no text is found.
Why does a table or a multi-column page look wrong?
Tables are guessed from how text lines up, so tables with merged cells or no spacing may need a quick fix by hand. Pages with two or more text columns can come out with the columns mixed together.
Are images kept?
No. Only text, links and structure are converted. To save pages or pictures use PDF to Image.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your files never leave your device and the tool works offline once the page is loaded.
