About PDF to Markdown

Markdown is the lingua franca of documentation sites, static generators, note apps, and language-model context windows. This detects headings, lists, and emphasis, and writes structured Markdown rather than a flat text dump.

Questions about PDF to markdown

Why convert a PDF to Markdown?

It is the most practical way to get PDF content into a documentation site, a wiki, a note-taking app, or a language model. Markdown keeps the document's structure while stripping the layout noise that makes raw PDF text hard to work with.

Is PDF to Markdown really free?

Yes — every tool on PDF Love is free, with no account, no email, no trial period, and no watermark stamped on your output. There is no file-count limit and no daily quota.

What happens to my files?

They never leave your device. This tool runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your file is read from local memory, processed locally, and handed straight back. Nothing is uploaded, which is why it still works with your Wi-Fi switched off.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no limit imposed by us. Because the work happens on your own device, the practical ceiling is your available memory — comfortably a few hundred megabytes on a normal laptop or phone.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The site is built mobile-first and works in any modern browser on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. There is nothing to install.
