Frequently asked questions

Is the oMyPDF PDF to Markdown tool free?

Yes. Converting PDF to Markdown is 100% free with no watermark and no sign-up required.

Where is my file processed?

Entirely in your browser. The PDF is never uploaded to a server, so it stays completely private.

How is the structure detected?

The tool reads each page's layout: larger text becomes headings, lines starting with bullets or numbers become lists, and wrapped lines are joined back into paragraphs.

Will the formatting be perfect?

It produces clean, readable Markdown for most text-based PDFs. Very complex or multi-column layouts may need minor tidying, since PDF stores positioned text rather than document structure.

Can it convert scanned PDFs?

Scanned or image-only PDFs have no selectable text, so there's nothing to extract — those need OCR first, which we're adding soon.
