From PDF to clean, LLM-ready Markdown in seconds

Tired of copying text from PDFs only to lose all the formatting? PDF to Markdown is a lightweight pdf to markdown converter that keeps headings, lists, real tables, and formulas — so you can drop the result straight into Notion, Obsidian, GitHub, or an LLM prompt for ChatGPT and Claude.

Just drag a file into the extension or paste a URL. The convert to markdown process handles the rest—queue status, priority, and a live preview so you can check the output before downloading. Working with scanned pages? They're OCR'd automatically (including Cyrillic/Russian), and you can force OCR in settings.

Your files stay private: no account, no sign-up, and the pdf to markdown conversion runs on a secure server with results deleted automatically after about one hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PDF to Markdown?
It's a Chrome extension and pdf to markdown converter that turns PDF documents into clean, editable Markdown files you can use in note-taking apps, wikis, and documentation.
How do I convert to markdown?
Drag a PDF into the popup or paste a direct URL. The extension queues your file, processes it, and shows you the result. Copy the text or download a .md file.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned and image-only PDFs are OCR'd so the text becomes selectable Markdown — including Cyrillic/Russian. You can also force OCR in the settings.
Where is my data stored?
Converted files are stored temporarily on a secure server and auto-deleted after one hour. You can also remove them manually at any time.
Is there a file size limit?
The pdf to markdown converter supports files up to 10 MB. You can have up to 3 jobs in the queue at once.
Is it free and do I need an account?
It's completely free with no sign-up. Your device gets an anonymous key automatically and every request is signed — no email, no login, no personal tracking.
Can I use it to prepare PDF content for ChatGPT or other LLMs?
Yes. The output is clean, LLM-ready Markdown — ideal for pasting PDF content into ChatGPT, Claude, or a RAG pipeline, and for note apps like Notion, Obsidian, and GitHub.
What languages does it support?
The interface is localized in 50+ languages, and OCR reads scanned documents in Cyrillic/Russian as well as English.
Does it keep tables and formulas?
Yes. Tables become real Markdown tables (not images) and formulas are preserved. Images can be embedded as base64 or replaced with placeholders.
