Description
PDFtoMD is an online AI converter that turns PDF files into clean, structured Markdown. Its engine reads a document's real text layer to keep the correct reading order, and it detects headings, paragraphs, and lists to write them as proper Markdown syntax rather than an unformatted wall of text.

Scanned pages and image-based PDFs are handled by AI-powered OCR, and a Vision mode on paid plans reconstructs tables, formulas, charts, and stamps as structured Markdown. Most conversions finish in seconds, and signed-in users keep every result in a conversion history to re-copy or re-download from any device.
The tool is built for people who work in Markdown editors like Obsidian, Notion, and VS Code, as well as for AI and RAG workflows, since large language models handle Markdown far better than raw PDF text. A free tier offers 3 pages a day as a guest or 10 pages a day with a free account, with paid plans scaling up to larger monthly volumes and page limits.
