About PDF to Markdown

PDF to Markdown is an online converter that turns PDF files into clean Markdown. According to its site, it handles OCR, tables and images, and offers an API and MCP support so the output can be used with Claude, ChatGPT, Obsidian, AI agents and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows.

The service describes a simple workflow for preparing documents for Claude: convert the PDF while preserving headings and lists, check important numbers, tables and reading order against the source, and pass the Markdown in sections when a document exceeds the available context. Recorded examples of Claude-workflow output are available to inspect.

Pricing is per page rather than by subscription. Users can start with free pages, then buy prepaid credits, connect billing for monthly pay-as-you-go charges on recurring API or agent usage, or enable auto-refill so conversions are not blocked. The tool suits people converting books, reports, manuals and other large PDFs for AI tools, and teams can discuss bulk conversion.
