Frequently Asked Questions

Does this preserve headings and formatting?

Yes, our parser detects font size differentials to automatically generate Markdown H2 and H3 headings.

Will scanned PDFs work?

This tool extracts native digital text. If your PDF is a flat scanned image, text must be recognized first via OCR.

Does the PDF to Markdown Converter upload my PDF to a server?

No, all PDF processing happens locally in your browser using client-side libraries. Your documents never leave your device.

Is there a limit on PDF file size?

Large PDF files may take longer to process since everything runs in your browser. For best results, keep files under 50 MB.
