Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?

No. Extraction and conversion happen entirely inside your browser. Your files never leave your device.

How are headings detected?

Lines set in a distinctly larger size than the body text are treated as headings. This is a heuristic — unusual layouts may mark lines incorrectly.

The tool converts the PDF's text content. Images, charts, and scanned pages have no text to extract — scanned PDFs produce an empty result.

Tables are flattened into text lines. Complex tables, multi-column layouts, and footnotes usually need manual cleanup after conversion.

Each PDF can be up to 50 MB. Conversion happens on your device, so very large documents depend on your device's memory.

Extract the text from a PDF and convert it to clean Markdown — headings, lists, and paragraphs preserved. Copy the result or download a .md file.
