What formats will I receive when I convert my PDF?

You receive both a plain text (.txt) file and a Markdown (.md) file. The Markdown version preserves headings, lists, and table structure so you can use it directly in editors, documentation tools, or AI systems.

Can it convert scanned PDFs and image-only PDFs?

Yes. We use enterprise-grade AWS Textract OCR to read the visual content of every page, so it works on scanned documents, image PDFs, and PDFs with broken or missing text layers.

How much does PDF to text conversion cost?

Pricing is $2 base fee for up to 10 pages, then $0.02 per additional page. A 50-page document costs $2.80. We accept all major credit cards via Stripe.

Does it preserve tables and document structure?

Yes. Our OCR pipeline detects tables, headings, bullet lists, and other structural elements. The Markdown output represents these using standard Markdown syntax so the structure is preserved in a machine-readable format.

Why Convert Your PDF to Text or Markdown?

PDFs lock your content in a format that's hard to work with. Whether you need to feed a document into an AI tool, import it into a CMS, archive it as plain text, or process it programmatically — converting to text or Markdown unlocks the content so you can use it anywhere.

📄 Clean Plain Text Output

Get a .txt file with all the text extracted in reading order. Ideal for importing into word processors, feeding into AI language models, running text analysis, or archiving document content. Works even on scanned PDFs with no existing text layer.

⬇️ Structured Markdown Output

Get a .md file that preserves your document's structure — headings become # headers, bullet points stay as lists, and tables are rendered in Markdown table syntax. Perfect for documentation sites, wikis, GitHub, Notion, and AI prompts.
