pdfmd.dev Visit website

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free PDF-to-Markdown converter that preserves headings, tables, reading order, and page breaks for prompts, RAG pipelines, and notes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-21 issue.

For: Developers preparing PDFs for LLM workflows
Worth noticing: It accepts files up to 50 MB or 400 pages and flags scanned pages instead of OCRing them.

Field notes

The service exposes both a browser upload flow and a documented POST endpoint, with the page presenting them as the same converter. Its stated output retains headings, tables, reading order, and page breaks rather than flattening the document into plain text. The scope is deliberately limited: text PDFs are supported, while scanned pages are flagged rather than OCR'd. The page also states a 50 MB or 400-page upload limit and 1,000 free API pages per day.
