Put the result to work
Prepare reports, product documentation, and reference material for a knowledge base without retyping the text. Upload a text-based PDF to extract its content with page markers. Review reading order before reusing multi-column documents.
Scanned images need OCR first. Files are limited to 3 MB and 100 pages; complex tables and visual layouts may need manual cleanup.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a scanned PDF to Markdown?
This converter reads selectable PDF text and does not run OCR. If the pages are scanned images, apply OCR first and save a searchable PDF. Then upload the resulting file to extract its text into Markdown.
Will PDF tables and columns keep their original layout?
Markdown represents text rather than page geometry. Multi-column reading order, tables, and headers may need cleanup. Compare the output with the original PDF before using specifications or numerical data in documentation.
Do I need a Chatbyte account?
No. These tools are free to use without signing up. Shared usage limits protect availability. Creating and running a Chatbyte chatbot is a separate product.
How is my content processed?
Tools process submitted content on the server for the request. AI tools send extracted text through Vercel AI Gateway to the selected AI model provider. This app does not save tool inputs to a database. Chat history stays in the current tab until reset. Avoid confidential or personal data.
