About this tool

Is it really free?

Yes. You can convert up to 10 PDFs per day, with no sign-up and no card. Each conversion covers the first 10 pages of the document.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Yes. Pages without selectable text are read with text recognition, so scanned documents and photographed pages convert too. Very poor scans work best on a paid plan.

What happens to my file?

Your PDF is only used to create the conversion and is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. It is never used to train any models.

Why only 10 pages?

The free tool keeps conversions small so it stays free and fast for everyone. Pages after the first 10 are not converted. Paid plans process full-length documents.

Does it keep tables?

Tables are converted to Markdown tables. Simple tables convert well. Dense or complex tables are where our paid engine does better.

Can I use the output with ChatGPT, Claude or a RAG pipeline?

Yes. Markdown is plain text that keeps headings, lists and tables, which makes it easy for AI tools to read.

What is the difference between Markdown and data extraction?

Markdown converts the whole page to text. Extraction pulls the specific values you ask for into structured fields.
