  • Reading order

BEST FOR

Use PDF content beyond the original file.

Convert the source once, then reuse the Markdown in the workflow that needs it.

EDIT

Extract text from a PDF for editing

Turn a report, paper, or manual into structured text instead of copying one page at a time.

RESEARCH

Make PDF reports easier to search

Convert long PDFs into Markdown notes for search, summaries, citation review, and external AI workflows.

PUBLISH

Reuse PDF content on the web

Move headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, and images into a blog or documentation workflow.

Before you convert.

Convert PDF to Markdown online, including scanned PDFs with automatic OCR. Batch up to 5 files, review each MD result, and download extracted images.

How do I convert a PDF to Markdown?+

Upload a PDF or paste a public HTTPS link to a PDF file. MarkAny converts the document, then opens the Markdown so you can review, copy, or download it.

Can I extract and copy text from a PDF?+

Yes. MarkAny turns readable PDF content into editable Markdown. Review the result in the browser, then copy the Markdown or download the .md file.

Can PDF-to-Markdown conversion extract images?+

When the conversion service extracts supported images, MarkAny provides a ZIP containing the Markdown file, an image folder, and relative image links. Review image order and captions before reuse.

What happens to PDF tables and multi-column layouts?+

Detected tables are converted to Markdown tables, but complex tables and multi-column reading order may need correction after conversion.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Markdown?+

Yes. MarkAny applies OCR automatically when a PDF page does not contain readable text, so you do not need to select a language first. Scan quality, page angle, columns, and complex tables can still affect the result.

Can I convert multiple files at once?+

Yes. Add up to five files of the selected type, with a 50 MB limit per file and a 250 MB total selection limit. MarkAny processes up to two at once and lets you cancel or retry individual items.

What happens to files I upload?+

File-to-Markdown conversion uses MarkAny’s cloud storage and conversion infrastructure. The current service does not publish a guaranteed deletion timeframe, so do not upload confidential, sensitive, or regulated material.
