Question 1

How do I convert a PDF to Markdown?

Accepted Answer

Drop your PDF into Convertify's PDF tool, pick Markdown as the target, click convert, and download the .md file. Headings, lists, and paragraphs are preserved.

Question 2

Can I extract text from a scanned PDF?

Accepted Answer

Right now we extract embedded text only. OCR for scanned PDFs and photos is on the roadmap.

Question 3

Does the PDF get uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All PDF parsing runs locally in your browser using pdf.js. Your file never leaves your device.

Question 4

What's the file size limit?

Accepted Answer

Browser RAM is the only limit. PDFs up to ~500MB usually work fine on a modern laptop.
