Modernize Your PDF Content

Static PDF files are difficult to repurpose for modern web platforms, blogs, or developer tools. Our PDF to Markdown Converter bridges this gap free and online. Whether you need to move technical documentation into a GitHub wiki, import research notes into Notion or Obsidian, or turn a PDF report into a blog post, PDFFans extracts your text and translates it into structured Markdown (.md). We preserve your headings, lists, and formatting, giving you a clean slate for your digital projects.

How to Convert PDF to Markdown:

Why Use Markdown Conversion?

FAQ: Extracting Markdown from PDF Files

Q: Does it support PDF tables?

A: Yes! Simple tables are converted into Markdown table format. However, complex layouts with merged cells may require minor manual adjustments in your editor.

Q: My PDF is a scan; will I get Markdown text?

A: For scanned documents, we recommend running our OCR PDF tool first to recognize the text, then converting to Markdown for the best output quality.

Q: Can I edit the Markdown file in VS Code?

A: Absolutely. The resulting .md file is a standard text file compatible with VS Code, Obsidian, Typora, and any Markdown-supported platform.
