Is PDF to Markdown really free?

Yes, completely free with zero credit cost. Convert as many documents as you need with just a Pixelift account.

What document formats are supported?

PDF, DOCX (Word), PPTX (PowerPoint), and EPUB (ebooks). Maximum file size is 50MB per document.

Does it handle scanned PDFs?

Yes. The Marker AI model includes OCR capabilities for scanned documents. Text-based PDFs produce the most accurate results.

Are tables preserved in the output?

Yes. Tables are converted to Markdown table format. Complex merged cells may be simplified but data is preserved.

Does it keep images from the document?

Currently the tool extracts text and formatting. Images are not included in the Markdown output.

How accurate is the conversion?

Very accurate for standard documents. Complex layouts with multiple columns, sidebars, or overlapping elements may need minor manual cleanup.

Can I convert academic papers with citations?

Yes. Citations, footnotes, and references are extracted as text. Citation linking may need manual Markdown formatting.

What Markdown flavor does it output?

Standard CommonMark-compatible Markdown. Works with GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Obsidian, and any Markdown editor or renderer.
