Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to Markdown?

Drop a PDF onto the upload area or click to browse, then wait while the text is extracted page by page. When it finishes, press Copy to copy the Markdown. The file is read inside your browser, and the page states a maximum size of 25 MB.

Can it convert a scanned PDF or an image-only PDF?

No. The tool reads the text layer that already exists in the PDF and does not do OCR. A scanned document is just pictures of pages, so it will produce little or no text. Run it through an OCR tool first to add a text layer, then convert it.

Will headings, tables and lists be preserved?

Not automatically. The tool extracts plain text, starts a new line when the vertical position changes, and adds a Page heading (## Page 1, ## Page 2 and so on) for each page. It does not detect headings, bullet lists, tables or images, so expect to add that formatting yourself.

Why is the text order wrong or the layout messy?

PDFs store text in positioned fragments rather than in reading order. Multi-column pages, sidebars, headers, footers and footnotes can come out interleaved or repeated. Cleaning the result in a Markdown editor is usually needed for complex layouts.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Extraction runs locally with a PDF reader bundled into the page, so your document is processed on your own device. That makes it suitable for private files, although very large or complex PDFs may take longer to process on a slow computer.

What is the difference between converting a PDF to Markdown and to Word?

Markdown is plain text with simple formatting marks, ideal for notes, documentation and content management systems. Word keeps page layout, fonts and images. Since this tool outputs text only, it suits reusing the words of a PDF, not reproducing its design.

Is my PDF uploaded to any server?

No! The conversion runs completely client-side. Your document text never leaves your device.

Does it support scanned images?

This tool extracts text characters. It does not perform OCR on scanned text inside images.

Is my data shared when using the PDF to Markdown?

No. Toolskyt operates under a zero-server policy. All calculations, data formatting, and file exports are executed locally on your machine.

Do I need to sign up or pay to use the PDF to Markdown?

No, this tool is 100% free. There are no limits, sign-ups, subscriptions, or hidden charges required.
