Description

pdf2md converts PDF files into clean Markdown entirely inside the browser. Because the parsing runs client-side, the document is never uploaded to a server and no account is required — you drop a file in and get Markdown back.

The converter keeps structure that most tools lose: tables come out as real Markdown table syntax rather than space-separated text, and heading levels are mapped to the matching number of hash marks, so an H2 in the PDF stays an H2 in the output. A single file can be up to 1,000 pages.

It is aimed at people moving documents into a knowledge base or an LLM pipeline — research papers into Obsidian, internal specs into Notion, or contracts and reports into a vector store — where the privacy of not uploading the file matters as much as the conversion quality.
