Frequently asked questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is plain text with a few simple symbols for structure: # for headings, – for lists and ** for bold. It’s easy to read for people and for AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.
Why convert a PDF to Markdown for AI?
Pasting clean Markdown usually uses fewer tokens than uploading the whole PDF. You keep the headings and lists, so the AI still understands the structure, and you have more room left for your questions.
How long can my PDF be?
The converter handles documents of 30+ pages. Very large files take a bit longer to process.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
It works best with PDFs that contain real text. A scanned PDF is only pictures of pages, so there may be little or no text to extract.
How do I use the result?
Click “Copy Markdown” and paste it into your AI chat, notes app or text editor.
