FAQ

Common questions

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no limits on usage. No account required, no watermarks, no hidden fees.

Is my data private?

Your PDF never leaves your browser. All text extraction and conversion happen locally on your device using Mozilla's pdf.js library. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

How accurate is the conversion?

It works best with text-based PDFs — documents created from Word, Google Docs, or LaTeX. The converter detects headings, lists, and paragraphs based on font size and structure. Complex layouts, multi-column documents, and scanned PDFs may need manual editing.

Does it handle images?

No. This tool extracts text content only. Images, charts, and embedded graphics in the PDF are not converted. For documents where images are critical, consider a dedicated OCR tool.

What about tables?

Simple tables are detected based on text alignment and converted to Markdown table syntax. Complex tables with merged cells or nested structures may not convert perfectly and will need manual adjustment.
