About PDF to MD
PDF to MD turns the PDF you're viewing into a clean Markdown (.md) file with one click, entirely inside your browser. No uploads, no servers, no account — everything is converted locally on your device, so your files never leave your computer.
Features
- One click: open any PDF tab, click the icon, get Markdown.
- Preview the result, then copy it or download the .md file.
- Keeps structure: headings, bullet and numbered lists, paragraphs.
- Tables, including complex merged cells (colspan and rowspan).
- Preserves bold, italic, inline code and hyperlinks.
- Removes page numbers and repeated headers/footers, and reorders multi-column layouts.
- Multilingual: Latin, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
- Light and dark mode, following your system theme.
- Fully offline and private once installed.
How to use
1. Open a PDF in a Chrome tab (online or a local file).
2. Click the PDF to MD icon.
3. Click "Convert to .md", then copy or download the result.
For local file:// PDFs, turn on "Allow access to file URLs" on the extension's Details page.
Privacy
Your files are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded or shared. The only network request is fetching the PDF you already opened. No analytics, no tracking, no account.
Limitations
- Scanned or image-only PDFs produce no text (no OCR).
- Images and vector diagrams are skipped.
- Password-protected PDFs are not supported.
Requires Chrome 116 or later. The first conversion takes a few seconds to get ready; later conversions are fast.
