What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight text format that uses simple symbols to structure documents: # for headings, **text** for bold, *text* for italic, - for lists, and `text` for code. It reads as plain text but renders as formatted content. It is the standard format in GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, VS Code, ChatGPT, Claude and most AI tools.

How many file formats are supported?

15 formats: DOCX, PDF, XLSX, XLS, HTML, TXT, MD, CSV, JSON, XML, JPG, PNG, WEBP, BMP and GIF. Images are processed using in-browser OCR. More formats are added based on user demand.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device and no data is sent to external servers.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no registration. No account or credit card required.

What is the maximum file size?

20 MB per file. If your document is larger, consider compressing it or splitting the content before converting.

Can I edit the generated Markdown?

Yes. The result appears in a built-in editor with two modes: "editor .md" to edit the raw Markdown syntax directly, and "Preview" to see the rendered output with real headings, tables and formatting. Both modes are synced in real time. You can copy to clipboard or download the .md file at any time.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once the page is loaded, the converter works fully offline. No internet connection is required to process files.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Works in Chrome, Safari and Firefox on Android and iOS. You can select files from your device storage or from cloud apps like Google Drive or iCloud.

Do scanned PDFs work?

Yes. The tool automatically detects when a PDF contains no extractable text and applies OCR page by page. PDFs with digital text are converted directly; scanned PDFs are processed with optical character recognition entirely in your browser.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes. The "Multiple files" mode lets you drag or select several files at once. They are converted sequentially to avoid overloading the browser, and each file gets its own download button as soon as it finishes. When all files are ready, a single button downloads all the .md files as a ZIP archive. If there is only one successful file, it downloads directly without compression.
