# My PDF 2 MD

> A free PDF-to-Markdown converter that runs entirely in the visitor's browser.
> PDF files are never uploaded to a server. Output is GitHub Flavored Markdown
> with headings, lists and tables reconstructed from the document's layout.

Site: https://mypdf2md.com

## What it does

Converts a PDF into structured GitHub Flavored Markdown. Rather than flattening
the page to plain text, it measures font sizes and text coordinates to rebuild
headings (H1–H4), paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists, GFM pipe tables,
fenced code blocks, and bold/italic emphasis. Two-column layouts are read in
the correct order, and repeated page headers and footers are removed.

## Privacy

Parsing happens in the browser via PDF.js in a Web Worker. No file bytes,
filename, or page content is transmitted anywhere. The PDF.js worker and font
assets are self-hosted rather than loaded from a CDN, so no third party learns
that a conversion occurred. There is no account requirement and no file storage.

## Limits

- Free web tier: first 5 pages of a document (admin-configurable)
- Maximum file size: 50 MB
- Conversion timeout: 60 seconds
- Scanned/image-only PDFs are detected and reported, but not OCR'd
- Images embedded in the PDF are not extracted
