Frequently Asked Questions

What types of PDFs are supported?
This tool works best with text-based PDFs. Image-only PDFs (scanned documents) cannot be converted without OCR. Password-protected PDFs are not supported.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No! All PDF processing happens entirely in your browser using PDF.js. Your documents never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
How accurate is the Markdown conversion?
The converter uses intelligent heuristics to detect headings, lists, and formatting based on font properties. Complex layouts may require minor manual cleanup, but most standard PDFs convert accurately.
What is the maximum file size?
For optimal performance, we recommend PDFs under 10MB. Larger files may take longer to process or exceed browser memory limits.
Why does the first conversion take longer?
The first use downloads the PDF.js library (about 2MB), which is then cached by your browser. Subsequent conversions will be much faster.
