Common questions
What does the free converter include?
The free converter accepts one PDF up to 50MB and converts the first 50 pages into plain Markdown.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Scanned or image-only PDFs may produce little or no text because OCR is not enabled in the free version.
Are images extracted?
No. The free version keeps the output text-only and does not extract images or add image references.
How long are files kept?
Uploaded PDFs and Markdown results are kept for 24 hours, then removed automatically.
Can I use this for batches or an API?
Batch conversion and API access are planned Pro Features. Join the waitlist if you want early access.
