pdf2md

pdf2md is a PDF to Markdown converter that runs entirely in your browser. Drop a PDF in and you get clean Markdown back — no upload, no signup, no server ever sees the file. Why I built it: every existing converter I tried either wanted an account, silently uploaded the document to someone's bucket, or flattened tables and heading levels into a wall of text. For research papers and internal docs that is a dealbreaker. What it does: keeps heading hierarchy (H1-H6), keeps tables as real Markdown tables, handles multi-column layouts, and takes single files up to 1000 pages. Stack: WebAssembly PDF parsing + a TypeScript layout-reconstruction pass, plain static hosting on Cloudflare. No backend at all, which is also why it is free.
