How do I convert a PDF to Markdown?

1. Choose a PDF or drop it into the converter.
2. GiantMarkdown extracts its structure as Markdown.
3. Download the resulting .md file.

Is the converter private?

Yes. Most supported documents convert in your browser and never leave your device. Files that need cloud conversion use private, short-lived storage and are deleted after the Markdown is read back.

Supported formats and limits

CSV, DOC, DOCM, DOCX, EPUB, ODS, ODP, ODT, PDF, POT, PPT, PPTM, PPTX, PPS, PPSM, PPSX, RTF, XLS, XLSB, XLSM and XLSX are supported. Several files or a folder can be converted as a batch. Complex layouts may not convert perfectly, and the output is text only.

Does GiantMarkdown process images inside my documents?

No. GiantMarkdown deliberately converts text and document structure only. It does not send embedded photographs, screenshots, charts or diagrams to a vision model, run OCR on them, or include them in the Markdown. Unlike giving the original file to a multimodal AI assistant, the result is focused text without spending tokens on image interpretation.

Sources and implementation

GiantMarkdown uses Firecrawl's pdf-inspector for PDFs and Firecrawl's AnyDoc for Word, PowerPoint, Excel and other document formats. The project was originally derived from Microsoft MarkItDown. Read the About page and privacy policy.
