Overview
What is pdf2md?
pdf2md is a free, browser-based PDF to Markdown converter. The whole conversion runs locally in WebAssembly inside your browser tab, so your file never leaves your computer: no upload, no account, and no server storing your documents. That makes it safe for contracts, research papers and internal reports you could not legally paste into an online converter.
Where most converters flatten everything into paragraphs, pdf2md reconstructs document structure. Headings come out as proper #/##/### levels, tables come out as real Markdown pipe tables (including rows that were split across a page break), and lists, code blocks and inline formatting survive the trip. The output is meant to be pasted straight into Obsidian, Notion, a docs repo, or an LLM/RAG pipeline that needs Markdown rather than raw PDF text.
Ideal users: developers turning specs and datasheets into docs, researchers and students working through papers, PKM users on Obsidian or Notion, and anyone building a RAG pipeline who needs structured text instead of a wall of extracted characters.
It handles files up to 1000 pages, and a 500-page PDF finishes in under a second. Free, no watermark, no account, and the privacy claim is easy to verify yourself: open DevTools, drop a PDF in, and watch that no network request is made.
