1. Choose your PDF

PDF file

Selectable text · single column · up to 20 MB and 20 pages

2. Create a Markdown draft

Infer headings from larger font sizes

Lists and simple page layout are converted locally. Heading detection is a heuristic. HTTP(S) links on plain body lines are retained when their annotation covers a text fragment. Tables, linked headings/lists, images, scans and complex columns are not preserved. Some unsupported layouts may escape detection; inspect the draft.

3. Review, edit & save

Your editable Markdown draft will appear here.

Practical example

A single-column PDF with a 24-point Project notes heading above 12-point body text becomes # Project notes followed by its text. Review font-based guesses before saving document.md.

Limits · supported files

Up to 20 MB, 20 pages, 20,000 text fragments per page and 500,000 extracted characters. Unrotated, left-to-right, single-column selectable text only. HTTP(S) annotation links on plain body lines only; no linked headings/lists or internal-page links. No OCR, tables, embedded images or reliable complex reading order. Large gaps are rejected as possible columns/tables; some unsupported layouts may escape detection. Font-based headings are optional heuristics. Page markers and separators are added. Inspect every page against the original.
