Turn any PDF into clean, readable Markdown you can paste anywhere. Free, right in your browser.
This tool pulls the text out of a PDF and gives it back to you as clean Markdown (.md), the simple, portable text format used by writers, developers, and note apps like Obsidian, Notion, and GitHub. Drop in your PDF and you get tidy paragraphs of plain text you can read, edit, or paste anywhere, without the broken line breaks and odd spacing you usually get from copying straight out of a PDF.
Here is the honest part: a PDF stores its content as a fixed page layout, not as structured text the way a Word file does. So the result is clean, readable Markdown, not a pixel-perfect copy of your original. Headings in particular are not reliably detected, because a PDF has no dependable way to mark which lines are titles. What you get is the real words, split into clean paragraphs, ready for you to add your own structure. If your PDF is a scan (the page is really an image), the tool runs OCR to read the text off the image first.
Drag and drop your PDF or pick it from your device. Files up to 10MB are supported, and your file is never stored.
The tool extracts the text from your PDF. If the file is scanned, OCR reads the words off the page image automatically.
