Fewer tokens, more room

Plain Markdown carries the words without page images or layout data, and you can trim it before you paste, so more of your AI usage limit goes on what matters. Why it works

Which converter do I need?

A typed PDF: PDF to Markdown, or PDF to text if you want plain text.
A scan, photocopy or photo: OCR in 100+ languages or image to text.
A Word document: Word to Markdown.
A spreadsheet or CSV: Excel to Markdown or CSV to Markdown.
A file for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini: prepare a PDF for an AI assistant. If an assistant can't read your file, see why ChatGPT can't read your PDF.

Questions

The short answers. More help in our guides, or get in touch.

Are my documents uploaded to your server?

No. Conversion and OCR run inside your browser. Our server only counts how many files you convert so we can apply daily limits. We never see the contents.

Why convert documents before giving them to ChatGPT or Claude?

Some AI services read a PDF as page images as well as text, which uses more of your usage limit or tokens. Plain Markdown carries the same words without the images, and you can trim it before you paste it.

How accurate is the OCR?

Clean printed scans come out very well. Faint photocopies, stamps, handwriting and complex layouts need checking. Choosing the right language makes a big difference.

What are the free limits?

Without an account: 5 files and 10 OCR pages a day. With a free account: 15 files and 30 OCR pages a day, plus batch uploads and ZIP downloads. Pro removes the limits and the ads.

Why does OCR take a moment the first time?

Your browser downloads the OCR engine and language data once, then keeps them cached. Later conversions start straight away.
