Questions clients ask
Short answers, no sales language. If yours isn't here, ask an engineer directly.
Ask us anythingCan it convert scanned PDFs?
No. Scanned pages are images with no text in them, and extracting that needs OCR, which this tool does not do. It tells you when a PDF has nothing to extract instead of returning an empty result. For text-based PDFs, which is most PDFs made from Word, LaTeX, or export buttons, it works well.
Is the PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens inside your browser through WebAssembly. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and keep converting.
Why convert a PDF to markdown before giving it to an AI?
Text copied straight out of a PDF carries broken line wraps, page numbers, and header noise that waste model attention. Markdown hands the model clean paragraphs and headings, which noticeably improves what it does with long documents.
