Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF file uploaded to any server during conversion?
No, absolutely not. All parsing and conversion algorithms run entirely within your local web browser using JavaScript and PDF.js. Your document never leaves your device.
How does the tool infer Markdown headings and formatting?
The tool analyzes font sizes, font weights (bold/black), line heights, and vertical positioning across pages. Lines with font sizes significantly larger than the body text are automatically mapped to Markdown heading levels (#, ##, ###).
Can I remove repeated headers and footers from multi-page PDFs?
Yes! By checking the 'Strip Headers/Footers' option, the parser automatically identifies and filters out repetitive page numbers and margins at top and bottom bounds.
Does it support encrypted or password-protected PDF files?
Standard non-encrypted PDFs are processed instantly. If a PDF is protected with an open password, unlock it before uploading.
What output formats are supported?
You can copy or download clean Markdown (.md) text, view rendered HTML, or copy raw HTML code.
