What people use it for.
What happens to your file.
Tables are found with the PDF engine’s table detector and written as Markdown tables where they sat on the page, without their text being repeated as loose paragraphs. Headings are judged against the document’s own body text size, lines that begin with a bullet or a number become list items, and words hyphenated across a line break are joined back together.
Where it stops: Structure is inferred from visual layout, not from tags, so complex multi-column pages and irregular tables need manual tidying afterwards.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
How accurate is the heading detection?
It works from relative font sizes and positions, so documents with a consistent visual hierarchy convert well. Documents that style headings inconsistently need review.
Do tables survive the conversion?
Tables drawn with ruling lines convert into Markdown tables reliably. A table laid out with spacing alone may not be detected and comes through as text, and merged cells need manual repair, since Markdown tables cannot merge cells.
What about scanned PDFs?
A scan is images, not text, so run PDF OCR first to create a searchable layer, then convert.
