PDF to Markdown - Convert Any PDF to Perfect Markdown

Why We Built PDF to Markdown

In the modern development and documentation workflow, converting PDF to Markdown has become essential. Whether you're a developer maintaining GitHub documentation, a technical writer creating user guides, or a researcher organizing papers, you need a reliable PDF to Markdown converter that just works.

Traditional PDF to Markdown tools often fail to preserve formatting, destroy table structures, or require complex command-line operations. We built this Chrome extension to solve these problems once and for all.

Key Features That Set Us Apart

1. Instant PDF to MD Conversion

Our AI-powered PDF markdown converter processes documents in seconds, not minutes. Simply drag and drop your PDFs, and get perfectly formatted Markdown instantly. Convert multiple files at once with our batch processing feature.

2. Perfect Format Preservation

Unlike basic PDF to Markdown tools, our converter maintains:

  • Tables and complex layouts
  • Code blocks with syntax highlighting
  • Headers and document structure
  • Lists and nested elements
  • LaTeX equations for scientific documents

3. GitHub-Ready Output

Generate GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) that works perfectly with your documentation. Whether you're converting PDF to Markdown for README files, wiki pages, or technical documentation, our tool ensures compatibility with all major Markdown platforms.

4. OCR for Scanned PDFs

Need to convert scanned PDF to Markdown? Our advanced OCR technology extracts text from images and scanned documents with high accuracy, making it perfect for converting legacy PDFs and research papers.
