About MarkdownPDF

MarkdownPDF is a free online tool for converting documents between PDF and Markdown. We built it around one simple idea: file conversion should not require uploading your documents to someone else's server.

Privacy by design

Most online converters send your file to a server, process it there, and send back the result. That means your contracts, reports, and notes pass through — and may be stored on — infrastructure you don't control. MarkdownPDF works differently: all conversion runs as JavaScript inside your own browser. Your files never leave your device. We couldn't read them even if we wanted to.

What the tools do

• PDF to Markdown extracts the text from a PDF and rebuilds its structure — headings, lists, emphasis — as clean Markdown. When a page is scanned and has no text layer, built-in OCR recognizes the text automatically.
• Markdown to PDF turns Markdown into a polished A4 PDF with real, selectable vector text — including tables, code blocks, and links.

Free, with no catch

Both tools are free, with no account, watermark, or artificial limits. The site is supported by advertising, which keeps the converters free for everyone.
