Comparison guide#

mdcraft is not trying to be every kind of document tool.

What mdcraft is for#

mdcraft is best understood as a Markdown-native document conversion engine.

It is strongest when you need:

• document to Markdown conversion
• reviewable output
• a browser studio for evaluation
• an API option for integrations

What it is not#

It is not primarily:

• a website crawler
• a generic office suite
• a PDF design editor
• a broad ETL platform for every data source

Practical comparison#

Website crawlers#

Website crawlers are built for web pages and site graphs.

mdcraft is built for documents.

Generic OCR stacks#

Generic OCR often gives you text. mdcraft is trying to give you Markdown that is easier to review, fix, and reuse.

Docs migration workflows#

If the job is moving legacy content into Markdown-based systems, mdcraft is aimed at the messy conversion step before publishing or indexing.
