Anything to Markdown

Turn PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, EPUB, email and more into clean Markdown, one file or many at once.

Free, no uploads, no sign-up. Runs 100% in your browser.

How Anything to Markdown works

Each file is read with the matching engine in your browser: PDF.js for PDFs (headings and tables are rebuilt from the layout), mammoth for Word, SheetJS for sheets, the slide XML for PowerPoint, postal-mime for emails. The result is turned into GitHub flavoured Markdown with turndown.

Input: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, CSV, HTML, EPUB, RTF, ODT, EML, IPYNB, JSON. Output: Markdown, ZIP.

How to use Anything to Markdown

  1. Drop one or more files.
  2. Click a file to check its Markdown, or view all as one document.
  3. Copy it, or download one .md or a ZIP.

Tips

  • The token count helps you see if a document fits in an AI chat.
  • Scanned PDFs have no text layer. Run PDF OCR first.

Anything to Markdown FAQ

Are my files uploaded?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser tab. Files are read from your disk into memory and the result is generated locally.
Is it free? Are there limits or watermarks?
Free and open source (MIT). There are no file-size caps, daily quotas, accounts or watermarks.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the page (and any engine it needs) has loaded, it keeps working without a connection thanks to the service worker cache.
