Turn any PDF into clean, AI-ready Markdown — free, in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Most tools turn a PDF into messy text: tables collapse, formulas break, figures vanish. pdfmarkdown.app keeps them intact, and shows you the original and the Markdown side by side — with uncertain spots flagged — so you can trust it before pasting into Obsidian, your notes, or an AI tool.
It works both ways: PDF to Markdown and Markdown to polished PDF.
- 📄 PDF to Markdown — tables, formulas (LaTeX) and images preserved, not flattened to mush
- 🔁 Markdown to PDF — clean themes, smart page breaks, multi-file merge
- 🔒 Private by default — everything runs in your browser; your file never leaves your device
- ⚡ Free, no signup — open the page and go
Built for people who live in Markdown — Obsidian, PKM, research, and getting documents AI-ready for RAG.
