PDF to MD - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

PDF to MD is a web-based document conversion tool that transforms PDFs, Word (DOCX) files, HTML, and images into GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), including tables. Text-based PDFs are processed entirely within the browser with no file upload, keeping sensitive documents local. For scanned PDFs, photos, and image-only pages, optional cloud OCR is available as a paid upgrade. Local conversion supports files up to 50 MB and PDFs up to 500 pages; cloud mode supports files up to 10 MB and PDFs up to 100 pages. A free tier includes unlimited local conversions and 100 standard cloud conversions per month.

Batch conversion allows processing of up to 5 files on the free tier and up to 100 files on Pro, with results packaged as a ZIP download. Batch jobs are fault-isolated, so a failure in one file does not interrupt the remaining queue. Markdown to PDF export is also supported. Cloud jobs automatically delete original uploads after processing, with results retained for 24 hours.

PDF to MD targets knowledge workers, Obsidian and Notion users, developers, and automation teams. A REST API and remote MCP access are available for scripted and automated document conversion workflows, drawing from the same account credits used on the website. OCR access is available via page credits, a Pro subscription (300 OCR pages per month), or a prepaid OCR pack (200 pages for $5, valid 12 months). The tool preserves original document language and content without rewriting or summarizing.
