PDF to Markdown Converter

Upload a PDF and get its text back as Markdown. The file is read entirely in your browser, page by page, with likely headings picked out by font size and a rule between pages so you can see where each one ends.

What this converter does

  • Extracts the text layer from every page and keeps the pages in their original order.
  • Infers headings from font size, so text noticeably larger than the body becomes a Markdown heading.
  • Inserts a horizontal rule between pages so page boundaries stay visible in the output.
  • Reads the file locally. The PDF never leaves your browser, and nothing is uploaded or stored.

How to use it

  1. 1Choose your PDF. Drop the file onto the upload area or click it to browse. The file opens locally in your browser.
  2. 2Convert. The text is extracted page by page. Larger text is marked up as headings and pages are separated with a rule.
  3. 3Copy or download. Copy the Markdown out, download it as a .md file, or use it as a chatbot training source.

Training a chatbot on this content?

If you are converting documents so a bot can read them, you can skip the step. matram.ai crawls your website, imports a sitemap, and reads PDF and DOCX uploads directly, then answers questions with a link to the page each answer came from.
