Question 1

How do I convert PDF to Markdown with tables preserved?

Accepted Answer

Simply drag your PDF into the converter above. Our online PDF to Markdown converter preserves tables, merged cells, footnotes and formatting. Word (doc/docx), PowerPoint (ppt/pptx), Excel (xls/xlsx), OpenDocument (odt/ods/odp), RTF, EPUB, CSV and PDF — 13 formats total. Format is auto-detected from content.

Question 2

Can I convert DOCX to Markdown online free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can convert DOCX to Markdown online free with no signup required. Conversion runs entirely in your browser — files never leave your device. The only network request is the first-time download of the WASM engine (~3MB, cached afterwards).

Question 3

Can it convert scanned PDFs?

Accepted Answer

No. This tool does text extraction, not OCR. Image-only scanned PDFs without a text layer will fail.

Question 4

How do I get the Markdown result after converting PDF or DOCX?

Accepted Answer

Three ways: download the .md file, copy the full text, or click “Continue to MD to HTML” to bring it into 100mini's template system and publish a web page.

Question 5

Is there a file size limit?

Accepted Answer

20MB per file. Very large or long documents will convert noticeably slower, since the browser is single-threaded.

Question 6

Are Excel formulas and PPT animations preserved?

Accepted Answer

Excel exports computed values, not formulas. PPT extracts text only — animations, videos and transitions are dropped.

Question 7

Can I use this to convert PDF to Markdown for RAG pipelines?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Converting PDF to structured Markdown before feeding RAG pipelines prevents chunking errors and heading level skips. Our converter preserves heading hierarchy (H1–H3), table structure as GFM pipe tables, and block-level elements — giving your embedding model cleaner semantic chunks and reducing token waste by 25–75% compared to raw PDF text extraction.

Question 8

How does converting PDF to Markdown reduce LLM token costs?

Accepted Answer

Raw PDF text extraction produces noisy output with redundant spacing, broken tables, and garbled formatting that inflates token counts. Our converter produces clean, structured Markdown — removing visual noise while preserving semantic meaning. Users typically see 25–75% token reduction when feeding converted Markdown vs. raw PDF text into LLM context windows.

Question 9

Is this an offline PDF to Markdown converter? Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 100% private. The entire conversion runs via WebAssembly inside your browser — no file is ever uploaded to any server. Zero outbound network requests after the initial engine load (~3MB, cached). Your proprietary contracts, financial data, and sensitive documents never leave your device. Ideal for enterprise compliance and privacy-sensitive workflows.

Question 10

Can I convert PPTX slides to Markdown with speaker notes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each PPTX slide is mapped to an H2 header in Markdown, with slide content as body text and speaker notes preserved as blockquotes. This is perfect for preparing presentation content for NotebookLM, LLM summarization, or converting lecture slides into structured study notes.
