About pdf2md.pro

pdf2md.pro is a free online tool that converts PDF documents into clean, well-structured Markdown. Built for developers, technical writers, researchers, and anyone who works with Markdown-based workflows.

How It Works

Unlike most PDF converters, pdf2md.pro processes your files entirely in your browser. We use PDF.js (the same library that powers Firefox's PDF viewer) to parse your documents locally. Your files are never uploaded to any server.

What Gets Converted

• Headings detected by font size analysis
• Paragraphs with proper spacing
• Bold and italic text from font metadata
• Bullet and numbered lists
• Links from PDF annotations
• Page breaks preserved as horizontal rules

Limitations

• Scanned PDFs (images of text) are not supported — we don't perform OCR
• Complex table layouts may not convert perfectly
• Embedded images are not extracted
• Mathematical formulas may lose formatting

Technology

pdf2md.pro is built with Next.js and TypeScript, styled with Tailwind CSS, and deployed on Cloudflare Workers for global edge performance. The entire conversion engine runs client-side using PDF.js.
