PDF to Markdown
Reads the position and size of every piece of text on the page and infers structure from it, then writes Markdown. Far more useful than flat text when the document has any shape to it.

What it will not do
- Structure is inferred from geometry: text noticeably larger than the body becomes a heading, a wide vertical gap starts a new block, and a leading bullet makes a list item. Those rules are simple and can be wrong.
- Multi-column pages are read straight down rather than column by column.
- This recovers content, not layout. The result will not look like the original page.
- A scanned document has no text to recover. Run OCR first.
Where this runs
PDF to Markdown runs entirely inside this page. Your file is read by the browser, processed in memory and handed back to your downloads folder. It is never sent to a server, because there is no server involved in this tool.
