Frequently asked questions
What Markdown features are produced?
Headings (#, ##, ###) from larger text, paragraphs separated by blank lines, bullet and numbered lists, and bold for paragraphs set entirely in bold.
Does it handle tables and images?
No. Tables come out as plain lines and images are skipped. Use PDF to Excel for tables.
Why is the preview empty?
The PDF has no selectable text, which usually means it is a scan. Run it through OCR PDF first, then convert.
What are page separators?
An optional line reading “--- page N ---” at the start of each page, useful when you need to know where content came from.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole tool runs inside your browser using JavaScript. Your files stay on your device, nothing is sent to a server, and nothing is stored. You can even use it offline once the page has loaded.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no account, no watermark, no file-size tier and no daily limit. Use it as often as you need.
