Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About PDF to Markdown Converter

Is my PDF file uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs strictly client-side in your browser using PDF.js. Your file never leaves your computer.
What kind of PDFs work best?
Text-based PDFs (reports, articles, ebooks) extract cleanly. Scanned image PDFs without a text layer may not produce readable output.
Can I convert multi-page PDFs?
Yes. Each page is extracted separately and separated by page-break markers so you can see where pages begin and end.
Is there a file size limit?
There are no artificial limits, though very large PDFs may take longer to parse in the browser.
