How it works

- The file is converted inside your browser. Scanned pages and images are read with OCR in the languages you pick.
- Preview the Markdown, copy it, or download it as a .md file.
Questions
Why not just upload the PDF to ChatGPT?
The AI has to extract the text itself, which can miss scanned pages and adds layout noise. Clean Markdown is smaller, so more of the document fits and the answers are more accurate.
How many tokens will I save?
It depends on the file, but plain Markdown is usually several times smaller than the same PDF uploaded as a document. The converter shows an estimate for each file.
Does this work with Claude, Gemini and Copilot too?
Yes. Markdown is plain text, so you can paste it into any AI tool or attach the .md file where uploads are allowed.
