Introducing pdftomd

Turn any PDF into clean, structured Markdown in seconds — 10 pages free every day, private by design.

PDFs are where information goes to get stuck. The content is right there — but the moment you try to move it into your notes, your docs, or an AI pipeline, you're fighting hard line breaks, lost headings, and lists that arrive as a wall of text.

pdftomd does one thing: upload a PDF, get clean Markdown back.

What "clean" means

Extraction is the easy part; structure is what usually gets lost. pdftomd rebuilds it:

  • Headings become # headings — section titles and numbered headings like "2.1 Results" are detected and leveled.
  • Lists stay lists — bullets and numbered items come out as proper Markdown list syntax.
  • Paragraphs re-flow — the hard line breaks PDFs impose are merged back into natural paragraphs, hyphenated words repaired.

Digitally-created PDFs (Word, Google Docs, LaTeX exports) convert with high fidelity. Scanned documents aren't supported yet — OCR is on the roadmap.

Private by design

Your PDF is used only for your conversion — never shared, published, or used to train models. The Markdown result is saved to your history so you can re-download it anytime.

Free every day

Every account gets 10 pages per day, free, no credit card. Need more? Paid plans add a monthly page allowance, bigger file limits, and Vision mode for scans.
