Files to Markdown#

mdcraft converts PDF, DOCX, JPG, and PNG files into editable Markdown.

Best-fit inputs#

DOCX#

Usually the most reliable source for structure-heavy content such as:

• headings
• lists
• basic tables
• body text with clear hierarchy

PDF#

Best for text-first documents such as:

• reports
• guides
• whitepapers
• notes and reference docs

JPG and PNG#

Useful for:

• screenshots
• scanned pages
• photographed documents with simple layout

What to expect#

• Text-first files usually need less cleanup.
• Scanned or layout-heavy files may need manual review.
• Tables, code blocks, and complex layouts can require touch-ups after conversion.
• Charts, diagrams, and visually dense designs are harder to reconstruct as clean Markdown.

Review before publishing#

Files to Markdown is designed as a review-first workflow.

Check these areas before you copy or export the result:

• heading levels
• list nesting
• table formatting
• code fences
• OCR mistakes in scanned files

Practical advice#

• Prefer DOCX over PDF when you can choose the source format.
• Prefer text-first PDFs over image-only scans.
• Break very messy or visually complex source material into smaller, easier-to-review sections when possible.
