It turns a fixed-layout PDF into clean Markdown paragraphs, headings and lists — ready for docs sites, READMEs and AI knowledge bases.

Why convert PDFs to Markdown for AI?

Chatbots and RAG pipelines ingest Markdown far better than raw PDF bytes. Converting locally keeps private docs out of third-party servers while making them LLM-ready.
