Turn documents into
AI-ready Markdown.
Convert PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, images, and structured files into clean Markdown for AI workflows, RAG pipelines, knowledge bases, and developer tools.

Why Markdown
Built for the way AI reads information.
Markdown keeps a document's structure without the markup noise. Headings stay headings and tables stay tables, so a model, a search index, or a person can all follow the same text.
Structured
Headings, lists and tables survive the conversion, so chunking a document for retrieval follows real section boundaries instead of arbitrary character counts.
Searchable
Plain text indexes cleanly in any search engine or vector store, with no binary parsing step in your pipeline.
Readable
The output is legible as-is. You can check what a model will actually receive before you send it.
Editable
Fix a heading or drop a page in the browser before you download. It is just text.
Token-efficient
Markdown carries structure in a handful of characters, leaving more of a context window for content rather than markup.
Developer-friendly
Diffs in git, renders in every viewer, and needs no special library to read back.
Use cases
Where clean Markdown pays off.
RAG pipelines
Feed clean, chunkable text into a vector store without writing a parser for every file type.
AI agents
Give an agent documents it can actually read, with structure intact.
Knowledge bases
Move legacy Word and PDF material into a docs site or wiki.
Developer workflows
Turn specifications and reports into text that lives in git alongside code.
Research
Extract readable text from scanned papers and archives, including handwritten-era prints.
Data processing
Pull spreadsheets and CSVs into Markdown tables for downstream tooling.
Formats
Everything you are likely to have lying around.
Text-based documents are parsed directly. Scanned pages and images go through OCR automatically, so you do not have to know which is which.

How it works
Three steps, no setup.
- 01
Upload
Drop one file or many. Nothing needs configuring, and there is no account to create.
- 02
Convert
Each file is identified by its actual contents, then parsed. Pages with no text layer are routed through OCR automatically.
- 03
Review & download
Read the Markdown, edit anything you want to change, then copy it or download a .md file — or a ZIP for a batch.
Privacy
Your documents aren't our database.
Uploads are written to a temporary directory with a random name, converted, and then removed. Abandoned sessions expire on a timer and a background worker deletes them, so files do not linger if you close the tab.
There is no account, no document history, and no database of your content. Operational logs record what happened — file type, size, duration, success or failure — but never the document text or the Markdown produced from it.
Conversion happens on the server, so we are not claiming your files are never seen by it. What we can say precisely is that they are not stored permanently. Read the full privacy note.
FAQ
Questions people actually ask.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no charge and no usage tier. Reasonable rate limits apply so the service stays available for everyone.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup, login, or profile. Open the page and drop a file.
Are my files stored?
Not permanently. Each upload goes into a temporary session directory that is deleted after conversion, when you clear the session, or when the session expires — whichever comes first.
Does OCR actually work?
Yes, and it runs automatically. When a page has no extractable text, it is rendered and read with Tesseract, then reassembled into headings, paragraphs, lists and tables rather than a flat wall of words.
Can it process scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are detected by measuring how much real text each page yields. Pages that come back empty are routed to OCR; pages with a genuine text layer are read directly, which is faster and more accurate.
Which languages does OCR support?
English and Bengali (বাংলা) are installed, individually or together, and the architecture takes additional Tesseract language packs without code changes.
Can it convert Excel workbooks?
Yes. Every worksheet becomes its own section with a Markdown table, so a multi-sheet workbook stays navigable.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like, or upload a ZIP and each supported file inside it is converted separately. Results download individually or together as a ZIP.
Can I edit the Markdown before downloading?
Yes. The Markdown tab is a real editor with syntax highlighting, search and undo. Your edits are included in whatever you download.
Can I use the output for AI and RAG?
That is what it is built for. The conversion is faithful — nothing is summarised, rewritten, or invented — so what you feed a model is what the document said.
Is this an official Microsoft service?
No. It is an independent interface built on the open-source Microsoft MarkItDown library, and is not affiliated with or operated by Microsoft.
