PDF to Markdown

Turn a text-based PDF into lean Markdown that saves tokens, saves space, and leaves you with a file that is easier to reuse in AI workflows.

If you are building a file-first setup, see How to Build a Personal Context Layer.

Local Only

This converter runs entirely in the browser. Your PDF stays on your device, there is no backend upload, and no document is stored by this tool.

Upload

Save tokens. Save space. Keep the file AI-ready.

Strip a text PDF down to cleaner Markdown for prompts, notes, and a personal context layer. v1 runs entirely in the browser and does not support OCR for scanned files.

PDF file

Choose a text-based PDF to turn into a lighter Markdown file.

What v1 handles

Good fit: exported reports, papers, briefs, and other PDFs with selectable text.

Expected cleanup: tables, sidebars, multi-column layouts, and unusual spacing.

Not supported: image-only scans, password-protected PDFs, and OCR-heavy documents.

The goal is a smaller, cleaner working file for AI, not perfect document fidelity.
